Alternate Register Link Doesn't Work

Hello,

We use a membership system for our user registrations, and don't want to use Simple:Press for registering, so I set the plugin's alternate link to https://techraptor.net/membership-levels and the redirection link to the same, but when you click "register" it still goes to the /register page, which I don't want to use.

How can I fix this?

There is no simple press registering of users... its all wp...

you are using sp 5.7.2?

what do you mean by 'plugins alternate link' and 'redirection link'???

if you want to use that a different registration url than wp, on forum - components - login and logout, you can specify and non standard wp registration link in the form at top right... since you mentioned changing two places, not sure what you did...

how would you go to a /registger page??  we dont set a value like that... did you modify template tag function to change the default?  if so, you can only do one and the template tag will take precedence...

Good questions and useful to understand what you mean. But.. if you are using 5.7.2 then you can turn off the use of the forum, complimetary registration and/or login buttons completely in the forum admin.

Alright, so if someone were to click register on our forums, they'd be directed to:

techraptor.net/register

However, I would prefer that people are redirected to:

techraptor.net/membership-levels

I see settings inside of SP for "alternate" links for registration, which isn't working. Screen shot below:

as mentioned, think you have another plugin taking control there... /register is NOT the standard wp registration url...  and NOT one that simple press would redirect too... 

so something else is controlling that and likely overriding our setting which is really just using the hook at a higher priority...

so first step is figure out what plugin (or theme) is driving folks to /register...
