Hi,

Currently the user registration screen is the wordpress registration screen. I know the user registration comes from wordpress and not simplepress.

I want to change this to a different registration page so I have used a plugin to customise it. This plug in works fine on the general website, ie the register link on the menu directs me to the custom registration page. However the forum ‘register’ button still directs me to the wordpress registration page.

I have changed the ‘Login/Registration Redirects’ (forum > components > Login and Registration) to the new custom registration url, eg http://mydomain.com/register, but it still doesn’t redirect.

Is this not the correct process or is there something else I need to change? I thought this option would redirect the forum register page to my custom one without having to delve into any code.

Thanks

James

The redirects in question are used by WordPress post-registration. What URL runs after the form is filled.
Like your other questions this requires a simple template change so can we do this at the same time as those?

Hi YellowSwordfish,

The below url appears when the register form is selected from the forum. 

http://mydomain.com/wp-login.php?action=register

Once the wordpress registration is filled the url appears as below (my custom log in page)

http://mydomain.com/log-in/

Thanks

James
