Manually adding an EXISTING member to the website

Manually adding an EXISTING member can be done by following these steps:

  • Hover on Site Users link at bottom of WP Admin menu, click ‘Add New’
  • Enter email address for username
  • Enter email address for email address
  • Enter First and Last Name
  • Click the Generate Password button
  • Check the ‘ Send the new user an email about their account’ checkbox
  • Click ‘Add New Member’ button at bottom

Note: this only adds the user to the APPROVALS section, it does not add the member to the database.

  • Hover over Member Info link on WP Admin menu, then click on ‘APPROVALS’
  • Ensure the newly added user is listed
  • Click either ‘Approve’ or ‘Deny’ to the right side of the member name

Note: Clicking the Approve link sends the member a new email with instructions on how to proceed.
