Hi there,

my fresh simple:press5 install does not show REGISTER button on the frontpage, only after I click on the Members icon.Then the Register button appears but after I click on it, I still see only Registration policy page with another Register button on the bottom of it and only after I click on it, it gets me to the registration page.

BTW policy documents plugin is disabled. Wordpress registration setting is enabled. In forum, user groups, permissions, forum groups - everything is set up.

here is the live view: http://sutaze.orbispictus.sk/sutaze/

What am I doing wrong and what should I do to make Register button appear on the forum frontpage to get me straight to the registration page?

I browsed through the wiki and several posts concerning this problem but nothing worked for me.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.

At the moment I can't come up with an explanation as i have not seen anything like this before. So am deeply puzzled. After all - it runs the same code on all pages.

So - first question - you have any other registration or login plugins active on the site?

It's weird isn't it.

Modules I have active on the site:

- Add From Server
- Better WordPress reCAPTCHA
- Contact Form 7
- Contact Form 7 reCAPTCHA extension
- Dean's FCKEditor For Wordpress
- Digg Digg
- Lightbox Gallery
- NextGEN Gallery
- Search & Replace
- SEO Friendly Images
- Simple:Press
- WordPress SEO
- WP Dash Message
- WP Super Cache

Pretty much nothing that could modify registration or profiles in any way.

Ehm, right, now I deactivated and activated the simple:press again and it works. Thanks for your attention anyway!

This might have something to do with wp-cache. if you have not done so you will need to exclude the forum url from wp-cacxhe.

okay I'll keep an eye on it. Sincerely I have to admit maybe I tested simplepress to its limits by fiddling about with custom forum page and its permalink changing it a couple of times, plus enabling wordpress registrations only after installing simplepress. But wp cache is definitely the most likely tip. Thx again!

I am also having this issue. I tried disabling the plugin and activating again and no fix. How can I get this resolved? I have site visitors emailing me trying to register and can't...

The only conditions that the code checks for before displaying the registration link which stop it displaying are:

  1. If the user is already logged in.
  2. If WordPress is not set up to accept user registrations.
  3. If the whole forum is in lockdown mode.

Other than that known problems can occur if you have a separate registration plugin running and sometimes weird things will happen if you are using a caching plugin.

So - are any of the above the possible cause?

I didn't have "allow users to register" checked. Thanks for the help.
