The user Kajan reports that the Sign Up button is missing from the header in desktop view, despite the Log In button being visible, creating a confusing user experience. nat suggests checking the invite only setting, but Kajan confirms it’s disabled and the issue persists even with the default theme. awesomerobot notes that the sign-up button is hidden on mobile due to space constraints and suggests CSS to display it, but Kajan clarifies the issue is on desktop. awesomerobot recommends testing in safe mode, which Kajan confirms still shows the missing button. awesomerobot then identifies the likely cause: the Allow new registrations setting might be disabled, and Kajan confirms the issue is resolved after enabling it, though the signup URL still doesn’t work.
After configuring Discourse, the Sign Up button is missing from the header while the Log In button is still visible. This creates a confusing user experience, as new users don’t have a clear way to register for the forum, even though login is still accessible. The issue appears to be related to how the interface is rendering, possibly due to theme settings, custom code, or a misconfiguration that’s preventing the Sign Up button from displaying properly.
How can I go from image 1, with no register button to image 2? Where could I apply the code for such changes or is it simply a plugin?
I don’t have invite only site setting enabled. My Facebook theme isn’t creating the problem either because when I change to the original theme the problem persists
Does the button appear if you try using safe mode? If so it’s a theme or plugin changing the behavior… you may have to try disabling your themes and plugins 1-by-1 to determine the cause (if you share a link here we can also take a look).
If it persists during safe mode then it’s unlikely a theme or a plugin and is more likely a site setting.
I can’t access https://aisverige.se/signup by visiting the URL directly which indicates it’s not limited to a button display issue… another site setting to check would be Allow new registrations… is that disabled?
