Function Reference/wp register

Description

This tag displays either the "Register" link to users that are not logged in or the "Site Admin" link if a user is logged in. The "Register" link is only offered if the Administration > Settings > General > Membership: Anyone can register box is checked. The Register link causes the /wp-register.php script to execute and Site Admin links to /wp-admin/index.php.

This tag does not function as intended on WordPress µ.

Usage

<?php wp_register( $before, $after ); ?>

Parameters

$before

(string) (optional) Text to display before the Register or Site Admin link.

Default: '<li>'

$after

(string) (optional) Text to display after the Register or Site Admin link.

Default: '</li>'

Examples

Default Usage

wp_register displays the link in list format <li>.

<?php wp_register(); ?>

Display Without Text Before or After

The following code example displays the "Register" or "Site Admin" link with no text in before or after parameters.

<?php wp_register('', ''); ?>

WordPress µ

On WordPress µ, there is no /wp-register.php file, and /wp-login.php?action=register is not a valid registration form. Thus, wp_register function does not show a registration link.

Notes

Uses: apply_filters() Calls 'register' hook on register / admin link content.
