I just found this great plugin for WordPress that gives you the ability to alter the register page. This plugin is not available at wordpress.org cause WordPress says that it has some sort of exploit although this exploit is not in the plugin but in the part of WordPress.
Things you can do with this plugin:
- Invitation codes. These are short codes that you can give to an individual or group of people that they will use to register for the site. An extra layer of security, so that you can be sure that the email address behind a registration actually belongs to someone in particular. Also, without an invitation code, the registration can’t be completed, so this avoids dealing with unwanted registrations.
- Uses email as username (so people don’t need to remember their username).
- Custom profile fields; for example, you could have a field named “Gender” and ask the members to specify M or F.
- Custom registration email sent to new members, which can include fields such as the username.
- Ability to show a disclaimer, privacy policy and/or license agreement during registration.
- Users can pick their passwords themselves (no auto-generation).
Credits to RadioK for this great plugin.
