Users cannot register – even with "Anyone can register" enabled

Hello,

this is indeed strange. What you can try is to add the following code in your currently active theme’s functions.php file:

function allow_reg ( $old_val ){
return true; // if this doesn’t work, try: return 1;
}
add_filter ( ‘wppb_register_setting_override’, ‘allow_reg’ );

Let me know how it turned out!

I added the code as mentioned but I have same error

Only an administrator can add new users.

In wppb.register.php the code that is giving this error for everyone

if ( $error ) :
					$registerFilterArray['errorMessage'] = '<p class="error">'. $error .'</p><!-- .error -->';
					$registerFilterArray['errorMessage'] = apply_filters('wppb_register_error_messaging', $registerFilterArray['errorMessage'], $error);
					echo $registerFilterArray['errorMessage'];
				endif;

				if ( current_user_can( 'create_users' ) && $registration ) :
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage1'] = '<p class="alert">'. __('Users can register themselves or you can manually create users here.', 'profilebuilder') .'</p><!-- .alert -->';
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage1'] = apply_filters('wppb_register_alert_messaging1', $registerFilterArray['alertMessage1']);
					echo $registerFilterArray['alertMessage1'];					

				elseif ( current_user_can( 'create_users' ) ) :
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage2'] = '<p class="alert">'. __('Users cannot currently register themselves, but you can manually create users here.', 'profilebuilder') .'</p><!-- .alert -->';
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage2'] = apply_filters('wppb_register_alert_messaging2', $registerFilterArray['alertMessage2']);
					echo $registerFilterArray['alertMessage2'];

				elseif ( !current_user_can( 'create_users' ) && !$registration) :
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage3'] = '<p class="alert">'. __('Only an administrator can add new users.', 'profilebuilder') .'</p><!-- .alert -->';
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage3'] = apply_filters('wppb_register_alert_messaging3', $registerFilterArray['alertMessage3']);
					echo $registerFilterArray['alertMessage3'];
				endif;

				if ( $registration || current_user_can( 'create_users' ) ) :

the message we are getting is from this code

elseif ( !current_user_can( 'create_users' ) && !$registration) :
					$registerFilterArray['alertMessage3'] = '<p class="alert">'. __('Only an administrator can add new users.', 'profilebuilder') .'</p><!-- .alert -->';

what is it checking?
From what I can see, it is checking if the user cannot create a user and the registration is turned off then show the message.

How can this be returning this message when registration is turned on?
