Registering student accounts
In order for students to utilize the social networking features of BuddyPress, they will need registered user accounts. If using a multisite network to create a network of student sites, our students will already have accounts and we may proceed past this step.
In the event that students need to be registered as new users, we may either individually add students ourselves or enable student self-registration.
Individually registering students
As the site administrator, we can add new student user accounts individually. While time consuming, this provides us with the greatest amount of control over the registration process.
To create a new user account:
1. Within WordPress, hover over Users, choose Add New.
2. In the Add New User portion of the screen, enter a username and an e-mail address.
3. Leave the user role as Subscriber. This will allow the student to interact with our site, but not make changes and edits to the site content.
4. Click on the Add New User button...
