    Hi,
    I suppose this might not be a theme issue but I want to remove the ‘register’ option from the login page. I only want users to be able to register if they use a specific form – this is already in place and works well. If users follow the corect path it means that I have users who are registered as either jobseekers or employers. Unfortunately, if you enter via the login/register option you get classified as a subscriber (I tried to change this in wordpress options) and this means the usertype-based menu system can’t work..

    I’m not sure what template and what lines I need to edit in order to safely remove this option – I don’t want to stop people registering, just control where they do it. Any clues appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hi Brian!

    Please go to Settings > General and uncheck “Anyone can register”

    Cheers!

    Thanks for that but would that prevent users from registering through means other than the standard login form?

    I have forms that allow users to register, but in a controlled way, so that they perform specific tasks, provide specific information and are then given the correct user classification. I don’t want to stop that; only random registration via the standard login form.

    Sorry to ask again but I want to be sure about this!!

    Hey!

    Try adding this at the very end of your theme / child theme functions.php file:

    function hide_register_link_login() {
	?>
	<style> a[href*="action=register"] { display: none; } </style>
	<?php
}
add_action('login_head', 'hide_register_link_login');

    Cheers!
