I'm designing/building a website for a client. This is my first experience with EasyBlog. My client is confused over the following, and so am I. The answer must be obvious, but we're both stumped.

I've attached a file that shows the problem. In the comment area beneath each blog post there's the usual field to write a comment. However, in the upper right-hand corner there's an "Already Registered? Login Here" link.

To us this implies there must be a way to register before posting a comment, but we can find nowhere for a guest to actually register, nor does it even seem necessary to register to post a comment. What is the login link for if it's not for guests to login and post? Is it simply a login for admin-registered blog posters to login in? If so, why is it in the guest comments posting area?

We've been scratching our heads over this for several days thinking the answer must be obvious. I've poured through the documentation, the forum and the EasyBlog component admin panel a dozen times and come up with no answers.

Can someone please explain what we're apparently missing?
Hi Cory Maylett,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:
What is the login link for if it's not for guests to login and post? Is it simply a login for admin-registered blog posters to login in? If so, why is it in the guest comments posting area?

-> Actually, this login link is purpose to comment a blog post as a registered user and not as a guest. (because not all site prefer a guest to be registered into the site)
However, if you've enable registration (global configuration>users>user options>allow user registration) https://www.screencast.com/t/tmgVaW60
There is mini registration form will append to the comment section: https://www.screencast.com/t/dGbLcIuh so Guest that feel want to register to the site can simply fill the form and click on the 'Automatically register me as a user of this site'

Thank you very much Fadhli. It works now. I don't think I would have ever figured that out on my own. Again, thank you!
