Hi Brendan many thanks for your input. I think I get what you’re saying. The thing is, I thought I was using the wix default lightboxes for login and signup so assumed those handled the register() etc. How would I pass the email the user entered to the register() function when I seem to have no way to access it if it is entered into the default lightbox?
The weird thing is when I tried to understand it, I did a few console logs which confirm (after the default signup page has been completed) that there is a logged in user and I can display their id (they email also appears in my members list in the dashboard) but then when you run getEmail() it says there is no logged in user.
I had already decided last night to just bite the bullet and build custom login/sign up lightboxes. If as you say, coding is required even with the defaults then that definitely seems the way to go. It just makes me a bit nervous in case I miss an issue with my coding that wix’s version catches.
I have little choice though it seems…
thanks again for taking the time to help
