Currently, when a user wants to register they see this message:
“Heads Up!
User registration is currently not allowed.”

I am obviously missing a setting somewhere but I don’t know where. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hi,

that’s a WordPress general setting.

Thanks for the response!

I have that membership box checked and I still receive the error message.
I also manually created a test account (not an administrator) to log in and check out the user experience, when I try to login I receive this message: ERROR: Invalid username and password.

Any ideas?

Once I deactivated my firewall it worked. So I guess I need to find another solution to keep spammers from creating accounts. Any tips for me before I start looking through previous posts?
