Also I tried registering a new user to test but I am getting following error: Uncaught TypeError: window.jQuery is not a function<anonymous> https://website.com/community/?foro=signin&redirect_to=https://website.com/community/account/ line 3 > injectedScript:2F https://website.com/community/?foro=signin&redirect_to=https://website.com/community/account/:3 G https://website.com/community/?foro=signin&redirect_to=https://website.com/community/account/:3 e https://website.com/community/?foro=signin&redirect_to=https://website.com/community/account/:3 setTimeout handler*e https://website.com/community/?foro=signin&redirect_to=https://website.com/community/account/:3 setTimeout handler*e https://website.com/community/?foro=signin&redirect_to=https://website.com/community/account/:3 Reply dimalifragis (@dimalifragis) Joined: 2 years ago Prominent Member Posts: 969 June 10, 2021 6:29 am Reply tosysads @sysads Not sure what you mean. That is the option to disable totally new registrations. IN wpFORO settings. What exactly is the issue? You seem to jump from one issue to an other? Why try to sign up, if sign up is disabled? I do not follow, sorry.
