Maybe it's just me and missing something very obvious, but after signing up I ended up in a Wordpress environment where I could update my account settings. However when you're in the actual forum, is there a link back to this? Or do people have to remember/bookmark photographylife.com/wp-admin? Under My Profile > Account there is no link/button.

Hi @ronaldsmeets, welcome to the forum! If I'm understanding your question, it should be the small icon of a person + pencil (see the attached screenshot) once you're on My Profile.

Hi Spencer, 

Could it be I only have/see the notification bell?

@ronaldsmeets What is it that you want to change in your account details? If the My Profile > Account page doesn't have it, it's probably not something we intend for people to be able to change.

Spencer is right - you should be able to go to My Profile -> Account to make changes to your account. You can also use photographylife.com/wp-admin, but we only keep that for 2FA purposes. Ideally, you want to modify your forum info through the Account page.

OK, so maybe I'm up against the following:

`You should have minimum number of approved posts to be able edit your profile information`

I cannot see any other options but the notice bell on my profile as well. Since we are all new members, could this have something to do with it...

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I am currently working on changing some of the settings, and I went ahead and set the minimum post count to 1 in order to be able to modify your profile. Please try again and let me know how it goes!

@curiousmike, thanks for the feedback and I hope it works now. Nasim has been quickly fixing a lot of these initial issues - let us know if you notice anything else that needs work.

Hehe, been gone a few hours and voila :) Seems you and/or Nasim have made some changes and now I can do a lot more:

@spencer it's just that after I created the account I got redirected to the Wordpress admin panel and got a pop up to set 2FA (which I did). After that you can go to the forum being logged in, but it looked like you never could return to that admin panel. That was just a little strange / confusing :)

Thanks for sorting it out that quickly 👍

@megaz no problem, glad to help out. Nice for a change to be part of something new on the internet - it's still reasonably 'quiet' here and not overwhelming. Hope it can keep expanding on a steady pace and that it'll gradually evolve into a sociable forum with likeminded people.
