Allow your users to sign-up to your site easily

• WordPress 5.x
• PHP 5.3+

Download and unzip into your wp-content/plugins folder.

Make sure the folder name is wp-profiles.

Note: The samples folder is not required, it just contains sample templates and code for handling the actions (see below).

In your WordPress go to the Dashboard and then to Plugins, find the Profiles plugin and activate it.

• Create your four templates or use the sample ones.
• Create your four pages: Register, Sign-in, Recover and Profile. Assign the appropiate templates.
• Go to the Dashboard and then to Profiles, select the corresponding pages.
• In your functions.php file register the actions for sending the mail messages (for activation and recovering).
• Profit!

You may customize the four pages to your liking (or to match your HTML/CSS/JS framework), to do so just take the four included templates and modify them. Just make sure you don't change the PHP code that allows them to work.

You may also customize the mailings sent by the plugin.

To do so just copy the contents of the sample functions.php file into the one inside your theme folder. Don't overwrite it or you will break your site - Just append the contents of the sample one.

The sample functions use the wp_mail function, but you may use any mechanism to send the mail messages (for example PHPMailer).

Just place your code inside both actions and use the contents of the $params argument to craft and send your messages. The $params variable contains:

• from - array with the source address and name, derived from your WordPress site options. Takes the form ['[email protected]' => 'Your Site']
• to - array with the destination address and name. Takes the form ['[email protected]' => 'John Doe']
• subject - The subject of the message. Takes the form Recover your account | Your Site or Activate your account | Your Site
• link - The activation/recovery link. Takes the form http:https://yoursite.com/[register-slug]?[auth-parameter]=[auth-hash]

You can override the default values if you need to.

The plugin includes a function to retrieve the permalink to any of the related pages.

To use it call Profiles::getPermalink($slug) where $slug can be one of:

• register
• login
• profile
• recover

The plugin includes a .po file that you may translate into another language to localize the UI and messages.

If you create a translation please send me a pull request so that I include it in the repo.
