Issue Summary: Registering users only works when the website is not in ‘login required’ mode.
SeeSea reported that enabling ‘login required’ prevents users from registering, resulting in an error message suggesting the email address is already registered. However, SeeSea confirmed that the email addresses are not already registered, and disabling ‘login required’ resolves the issue.
pmusaraj suggested checking for staged users, but SeeSea ruled this out. pmusaraj was unable to reproduce the issue in a local test. SeeSea plans to reinstall Discourse from scratch to see if the problem persists.
When ’ login required’ is enabled the users cannot register. The error reads: “Something went wrong, perhaps this email is already registered, try the forgot password link”
when login is not set to required, the user is able to register.
I have tried disabling plugins, turning off hcpatcha, etc. nothing seems to make it work, other than disabling ‘login required’. I believe there must be a bug with the latest version of Discourse that is causing this. My theme is “Air Table”
No. To test it I even just used random emails. I disabled any spam checking like ‘allowed domains’ or blocked domains etc. the only variable that allows registration, while all else being equal, is the login required.
it’s a fresh install so I’m just going to reinstall from scratch and see if the issue persists
