5. 05Send a test code to an administrator account and confirm that email delivery works with your hosting or mail provider configuration.

Do I have to enable every feature?

No. Each feature is independent. You may enable only the components you need.

What are the server requirements?

WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 8.0 or newer, and reliable outbound email.

Why are users not receiving emails?

The site must be able to send email. Common approaches include the host’s SMTP relay, a transactional email provider, or a WordPress plugin that sends via SMTP or an HTTP API. Verify end-to-end delivery with a test message after any mail configuration change.

How do I enable two-factor authentication?

Go to BerryPress → LoginBerry → Two Factor Auth , enable the feature, and set each role to Required, Optional, or Disabled.

How does passwordless login work?

When enabled for a role, users on wp-login.php can request a six-digit code by email instead of entering a password.

How do I track users’ last login time?

Go to BerryPress → LoginBerry → Login Logs and enable Last Login Tracking . After each successful login, the timestamp appears in the Last Login column under Users → All Users . This option does not require full login logging to be enabled.

Can I use 2FA and passwordless login together?

Yes. When both are enabled for the same role, the passwordless login flow skips the separate 2FA step because possession of the email inbox has already been verified.

Where are the email templates?

In the plugin templates/ directory: activation-email.php , 2fa-email.php , passwordless-login-email.php . Override by copying to the theme where supported.

Does it work with all themes?

The plugin uses clean WordPress markup. Layout may vary slightly depending on theme styles, so if you see any styling quirks, feel free to reach out.

Does LoginBerry work with WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce is optional. Without WooCommerce, verification (if enabled), 2FA on wp-login.php , passwordless login (if enabled), and login logs remain available. With WooCommerce active, 2FA is also available on the My Account login form, and account verification may optionally be tied to order creation, including a paid orders only option.

Does passwordless login work on WooCommerce checkout or arbitrary custom login forms?

Passwordless login is implemented for the standard WordPress login screen ( wp-login.php ). WooCommerce My Account login supports two-factor authentication as described above; passwordless login on other forms is outside the current scope.

Can admins activate a user manually?

Yes. In Users → All Users you will see links to activate accounts, resend codes, or unlock accounts.

Can administrators help users who cannot activate or who are locked?

Yes. Under Users → All Users , administrators can view status, resend codes, activate accounts manually, and unlock locked accounts when applicable.

What if an administrator is locked out or no other administrator can help?

Another administrator can usually resolve the issue under Users → All Users . If the site cannot be accessed from wp-admin, deactivate the plugin using standard WordPress recovery methods (for example renaming the plugin directory via FTP or SFTP, using WP-CLI where available, editing the active_plugins option after a database backup, or WordPress Recovery Mode when applicable).
