We don't want new registrants to come in as Admins. We would like the default to be Contributor. How do I change that? Right now when a new member registers they show up in the WP users list as Admin.

Hi @activatevision,
This is a result of your wrong configuration. wpForo default Usergroup is the "Registered" usergroup not the admin. What is your "default" usergroup in the Dashboard > Forums > Usergroups admin page? Please change it to something else:
Thank you. That's what I thought - that I have configured it wrong. How exactly to change it? What are the steps? This is what mine looks like. I haven't been able to delete and recreate new synchonizations. Nor am I clear how to end up with the default as registered as you have here.

Why you think your new users are admin? And please leave a URL of your new user registration page. Do you use wpForo registration page?
P.S. make sure you use the latest 1.7.4 version of wpForo.
