Registration page requires login?

Permalink
Perhaps this needs to go into the bug tracker, but I thought I'd ask here first. I've got my site set up and want to start letting some users register for accounts. I sent them the /register link (and also the index.php?cID link too, in case the URL rewrite was causing the issue). When the go there, it says that they must be logged in to access the page. This kind of defeats the purpose of a registration page.

The Join link on the forums here works to let guests create new accounts (or else I wouldn't have one!), so how do I get it to work. I tried turning on Advanced Permissions to see if that allowed me to set Guest permissions for the register.php single_page, but did not find any such option. Any hints here?

Thanks,
Jason

Unfortunately, no, I haven't figured out what's going on. I've been pretty busy lately and haven't given it much effort. Perhaps a bug report is in order?

I was able to get the page viewable. In the console, if you choose sitemap, then Click show System Pages, Register will show in the sitemap. You can click on that and change the viewable status for the page to Guest. And Viola...

Oh, duh. Why didn't I think of that? :-(

Thanks so much for the smack to the head. I needed it!

to be fair to you - it's not super straightforward :-) Glad everyone was able to get it working.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong but i'm not able of finding that "Register" page you're talking about.

I only have a "Login" one and can't even change his properties.

Any ideas?

Are you using 5.0 or 5.1? It was there in 5.0, and now I don't see it on a site of mine using 5.1.

I just noticed that they released a 5.1.1 today. Perhaps it's fixed in that?

I just upgraded to 5.1.1 and now see the Register page again under the Sitemap (in the Dashboard) if I check the "Show System Pages" box.

I have the page per user input above but now how do I add it to a page. I am trying to add it via the edit page mode on my main page but it doesn't show there.

It must be because it's late but a few words would be nice.
