Can't sign up to Community
Permalink
From within Concrete5 I attempted to visit the Market Place for plugins and was greeted by a sign up or signh in popup. I attempted to sign up but it kept coming back asking me to fill in the 'website address', but there is no box available to do that. I went directly to the C5 website and signed up there OK. Then I opened up C5 and tried logging in again. The same thing keeps happening. It wants the site address but offers nowhere to enter it. Catch 22. Failed to access community because of this. Where does one enter the website address so that the login will let me in? Unfortunately it offers no guidance on this. See the image. Can you see where I'm supposed to enter the website address?
Thank you. That worked nicely. I have three observations...
1/. There should be some kind of prompt in the 'sign in' popup explaining that one has to do this. Luckily I have patience and an enquiring mind. Some though I feel would just give up trying. I almost did. C5 should make it as easy as possible, not leave users wondering what's going on, having to follow a trail of support/help to find out how to log in.
2/. Not everyone wants the site name displayed at the top of their website (perhaps because their header image says it all) and there is no warning that if the site name isn't filled in, you can't access the Community.
3/. I advise anyone else in this situation to fill in the site name to start, as directed by Wadgi above, but then if they don't want it displayed at the top of their website, follow the instructions here http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/remove-si...
That's what I just did and everything is now rosy in the garden.
Many thanks.

I am really frustrated by a similar thing. New to this site an about to give up and look elsewhere.
Something really needs to be done about tutorials and advice that is clear and easy to follow.
I purchased a theme and cant get it onto the trial webpage.
