We’re using SSO ([memberful.com](http://memberful.com) if it helps) and the “Sign up” button in that footer block takes ppl to the _login_ page.

[https://community.moversmindset.com/](https://community.moversmindset.com/) if you want to see it in action.

Can I set that URL to some thing specific?

I believe you have to override the template in a theme to do this, there was some previous advice on how to do that here:

> [@Change link signup CTA](https://meta.discourse.org/t/change-link-signup-cta/81649/2):

> There might be more efficient ways to do this but.. one is to modify the template. The template lives at: And to override it you can change {{d-button action="showCreateAccount" label="signup\_cta.sign\_up" icon="check" class="btn-primary"}} To something like: \<a href="https://foo.bar" target="\_blank"\>Sign up\</a\> In the following: \<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="components/signup-cta"\> \<div class="signup-cta alert alert-info"\> {{#if session.hideSignupCta}} \<p\> …

¿ Is this really how it’s supposed to work. ?

I mean, how does it know at all what to link that ‘Sign up’ button to?

…it seems hard to believe the Discourse would just, “let’s just link ‘sign-up’ to the same place as ‘sign-in’…” How is this not annoying/broken for everyone using SSO.

…also, I’m using the hosted Discourse so I don’t think I can change any of the templates mentioned in that topic. Or can I?

You can, we don’t restrict themes on our hosting and this is an edit that goes into the head section of a theme.

Feel free to email us directly or send a PM to the [support](https://meta.discourse.org/g/support) group here on Meta if you need more help.
