Re: Registered vs un-Registered
I'm struggling with this as well. Although, I'm not so sure it's an email issue. I've never had any of my users say that the password email was not received. But the register>>login>>post classified, process is a bit disconnected. It just seems like a heavy conversion path. Would it be stupid to manipulate the
wp-register.php and the
wp-login.php files? I don't want to mess with the core files but I think the register/login experiences could be different.
When my users login I don't want them going to the
wp-admin page. I would rather redirect them to their dashboard page or their CP profile so they can choose to edit their ad or continue doing whatever they were doing before having to login. I think first time users get lost in the
wp-admin page. Have you had this problem? Can you think of a good way to redirect them to the CP site after login as opposed to the
wp-admin?
In all honesty though, I don't perceive your conversion rate to be all that terrible. Two thirds of your users are converting at this point. That's pretty phenomenal if that ratio were to continue.
With CP, there's not a ton of features built in for registered users that aren't available for un-registered. The only loss of functionality is what you have already pointed out. Your un-registered users will not be able to edit their posts, but to me, that's a pretty big deal.
Does anyone have any idea's or modifications for improving the conversion path?
