Hi Ice-Nine,

Welcome to the forums.
Good chance the link is there but you don't see it. You're admin of your blog and so you're a member. That information is stored in a cookie. Try to logout, that may work or may not work. Else try to visit your blog in a different browser or on a different computer.

The link is located just under the header (top menu) or in the sidebar under 'User Tools' usually near the 'Login' link.

Good luck

Afwas,

Thanks for the comment back. I did what you suggested and the link still does not appear. It was actually my fiance who brought to my attention and she uses a different computer from me. I go to the widgets and the User Tools properties and it has the Register property with the content box so I am not sure why the link does not appear on the actual site.

This is a sad condition: there simply is NO "register" link. You can, with widgets, have a "log in" link which will take a visitor to a magical place where they actually could register (assuming the option to register new users is enabled), but from the top level of the public blog there is simply no "register" link.

Damn. Shoulda found the hack before I started typing. Now I gotta ... do stuff. be right back okay? Stay tuned and buy stuff from the non-existent sponsor...

...pause...

Are you still there? Check out http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?p=86709#86709 if you're up to hacking a pair of files. If not you will have to accept that people who want to register will somehow have to guess that "first click login then click register" is the only way to get inside.

I am not sure what magical places you have been to but there is no register option when you click log in either. That was one of the first things I checked for.

As for the link to the topic, thanks! I will be checking that out.

Hey EdB, the code rewrite worked great. Thanks for the help.

:) Glad you got it working, but it won't actually work if you haven't enabled registration.

errr wait that can't be right. If you didn't have registration enabled the (hacked in) widget wouldn't have shown up. So you must have had it on, which means there was a register link available after someone clicked the login link.

Not that it matters cuz you got it working so life is good!
