In a standard setup, your visitors will signup for a membership account after they read your membership offers. You will use one of these registration scenarios<\/a> for them to register for an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On rare cases, you may be running an organization where you only allow the members to be added manually (by an administrator). You can make the following changes to the setup so only an administrator can add member records to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n

Step 1) Remove the registration form shortcode<\/h3>\n\n\n

Edit the registration page from the “Pages” menu of your site and remove the standard registration form shortcode of eMember. Instead, you can put a message like the following in there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members are added manually by an administrator. Please contact us if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will prevent anyone from being able to register from the front-end.<\/p>\n\n\n
