How to Log In

There has been a little confusion  on how to login to the website in order to access protected member-only content such as the FACETS archives and Membership maintenance functions such as Update Member Profile and Renew Your Membership.  These instructions will lead you your first login process.  Its easy!

  1. Access the CWFG website using this URL: https://facetersguild.com. Do not use any other URL or any option words.
  2. Go to the Home Page.
  3. Click the Login to Start link at the top of the page (optionally, click the CWFG member login link at the right hand sidebar of any page).
  4. Enter your member UserName and Password.
  5. Click Login.

If you have logged in correctly you will see your Name, Membership Level, and Expiration date.  You may now access member only content,  and you will remain logged in until you close your session.

Login FAQs

  • How did I get my username and password?   Your username and password were created by the administrator when we introduced the membership feature, or you created it yourself using the How to Join page.
  • I forgot my password.  How to I reset it?   Go to the website, then click the CWFG Reset Password link right hand side of the Home Page (No Login necessary).  Provide your email address and place a check in the I am Not a Robot check box.  Once you have been verified as not a robot, click the Reset button.  The system will change your password and send you an email with your username and password.  Note: the email address you use must match the email address in your membership profile.
  • Help!  I cannot reset my password because the email address I used does not match the email address I have in my membership profile.  How can I fix this?  Please contact the WebMaster (email: webmaster@facetersguild.com) and ask him to change the email address on your profile.
  • How do I change my member details?  Log into the website using the procedure described above, then click the CWFG Edit Profile link on the right hand side of the Home Page.
  • I accidently let my membership expire and now my login will not work.  How do I fix this?  Please contact the Treasurer (email: treasurer@facetersguild.com) and give him your username and explain your situation.  He will re-enable your account and you pay your dues to keep your membership active.
  • I used to have a user ID and password before we went to this new-fangled membership thing.  What happened?  In the old system, you had to be a WordPress user in order to access the Member Forums on the website.  When we went to the WP eMember functionality we abandoned the use of the WordPress user for membership access.
  • How to I get a picture to show on my profile?  This website uses Gravatar, a free service which allows you to create an image which follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog, or when you use this site.  To register and create your avatar,  please click the Gravatar link to sign you up with a WordPress.com account that links with Gravatar.  Once this is done, you can specify the image you want to use for your avatar.
