Username does not appear in registration form

[sweetearth]

I just purchased/installed eMember v7.8.1 and am having trouble with the registration form.

My goal:

To create a simple free-membership website.

Registration form requires only username and email.

Question 1: Can I combine the Join Us and Registration pages in one?

Since I don’t need to display various membership options, I don’t need the Join Us page.

Under “Pages/Forms Settings”, if I set both “Registration Page” and “Membership Payment/Join Page” to the same url, would it cause any trouble?

Question 2: My registration form doesn’t show Username.

It shows First Name, Last Name, and Email, all of which are required.

Under “Pages/Forms Settings->Registration Form Fields”, I unselected First Name and Last Name, but these 2 fields still show up on the registration form.

Question 3: How can I do a clean re-install of eMember?

I figured I inadvertently changed some setting to cause the above situation and decided to re-install the plugin.

I deactivated+deleted in WP Plugin panel; deleted the plugin/eMember directory on the server; and deleted all database tables with prefix wp_emember.

But when I reinstall eMember, most of my previous settings (under “Pages/Forms Settings”, for example) are still there.

Thanks for your help!

Quick update:

By “registration form” I mean the pre-email validation form, not the full profile registration form.

Thanks.

1. Yes, you can combine them if you are only using “Free Membership”. Simply use your registration page’s URL in the “Membership Payment/Join Page” field.

2. I am pretty sure you are referring to the registration form with email confirmation which won’t show a “Username” field until the user confirms his email address. Make sure you read this documentation which will clear things up for you:

3. What you did to re-install the plugin should have taken care of any code modifications you made to the plugin so that’s good. Only settings options will stay there which is not a big issue since you can go to the settings and uncheck the values as necessary.
