    @ Kevin

    Sorry, no. at the moment, it is automatic on login only.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I will just remove the directory entry and put it back with the Rouj user.

    I just want to make sure: when I invite new users to the website, I just need to ask them to put the same email address than in their directory entry when they subscribe? Then they will be able to edit it?

    That was my understanding from the beginning.

    Yes, that is correct.

    I need your help again for this website. Since I’m using free subscription, I reset all default roles for new users to be “Subscriber”. I made the change in Connections, s2members and my other plugins, but when I create a new user account, it does not link with the directory entry with the same email address.

    Thanks for the help!

    Just tested and it still works. I create a test entry and then created a new subscriber. I logged in as that subscriber and it was linked to the new entry.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I created a new user (cbdcmadawaska) with the matching email in the directory, but I cannot edit the entry. What would cause that?

    Can you state exact steps you’re taking with screenshots?

    To make sure my new role settings were ok, I edited the directory entry to put my personal email address. Then, I created the new user via the wp-register form with my email address. Link is not done between both profiles.

    I need exact steps please. For example, in this scenario, was the entry you edited with you email address already linked to another user. That doesn’t work because the entry will still be linked to the other user. Once a link is made, it is permanent … changing email addresses in either the user or then entry will not affect the link. That is done to prevent hijacking linked entries.

    I just realized the directory entry is linked to the admin account. So if I want to link my new user to that entry, I will have to delete the entry and put it back with the new user account?
