Register link not working

Hello @cj74,

If BuddyPress is installed, the Register link is redirected to BuddyPress’s register page by default.

However, you might have used our filter, mentioned here, to redirect the register link to the default register form. Please remove this code, and you’ll be good to go.

Let me know if this helps!

Hello @emma24

I don’t think i have ever used your filter. It has always been the direct buddypress page. I double checked and the functions.php does not have that code you want me to remove.

@emma24

What other steps can i take to make sure the loginpress register link is linked to the buddypress page? Or is there a way to remove the link in the plugin so that i can add the buddypress register link directly to the website navigation menu?

Hi @cj74,

Would you mind sharing your website URL first? Or, if you prefer to continue the conversation privately, don’t hesitate to contact us on our support forum.

Looking forward!

@emma24

Sure i can contact you in the support forum later and let you have a look at the website but the most important question right now, which will help me evaluate my options is, am i able to remove the “register” link from loginpress? If so how so i do it? Thanks

Sure, we’ll be looking forward to your message.

Yes, you can temporarily hide the register link by using this custom CSS:

.wp-login-register {
display: none;
}

Copy & paste it into the LoginPress> Customizer> Custom CSS/JS> Custom CSS section.

Hello

Since by default the register link should point to the buddypress I removed all settings,uninstalled and reinstalled twice to test if it will work, but the register link is still pointing to the home page.

Hello

Please check our response to the message you sent to our support forum. This issue is occurring on your site only, so we need additional details.

Like i said i have been using the plugin for years and only recently i noticed the customized width of the login form changed on its own and now this homepage problem.

As to your log request : i have already read all the information that’s on the log. I assure you i haven’t done any changes to the website nor has any change happened. I keep a close eye for changes and security. I am only using the plugin for some aesthetic customizations and other than that all settings are pretty much default. So the log is only showing the athetic customizations and the rest is sensitive information/details of the website and the p;plugins i am using. In any case i will forward you the information only pertaining to the customizations i have done. Thank you.

Hi

The issue is your environment specific and without additional details we might not be able to help you. But you can use this hook to change the register link.

Add this code to the end of your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'register_url', 'change_my_register_url' );
function change_my_register_url( $url ) {
    if( is_admin() ) {
        return $url;
    }
    return "/register/";
}

Hello @emma24

The hook you provided worked. If the hook works does it tell you something? What seems to be the problem that the hook fixed? Thanks

Hello

The hook is simply changing the register URL. But, we don’t know what was changing this URL before. It may be some other plugin.
