How can I change the text “Manual registration is disabled” on the login page?

You can add the following PHP code snippets to your active theme’s functions.php or a snippet plugin:

`php

add_filter(
‘dwprp_registration_link’,
function() {
return ‘Your custom registration link text’
}
);
`

How can I change the redirect destination URL which defaults to the login page?

You can add the following PHP code snippets to your active theme’s functions.php or a snippet plugin:

`php

add_filter(
‘dwprp_registration_redirect_url’,
function() {
return site_url( ‘/your-custom-registration-page’ );
}
);
`

How can I hide the registration link and text entirely on the login page?

You can add the following CSS to your active theme’s style.css or a snippet plugin:

`css

.dwprp-registration-link {
display: none;
}
`

Almost perfect, great for stopping bots

By Pedro Magnifico on September 4, 2018

My only suggestion for improvement: when active, the register link is replaced by a text message that says "Manual registration is disabled". It would be good if I could edit the message. Otherwise I love it, it has completely stopped annoying bot account registrations.

Completely eliminated all bot registrations!

Works perfectly. Stopped all bot registrations on two websites I manage. Plugin says not tested with current version, but I'm on 4.81 and it works fine.

Great and simple plugin!

I hate bots that pass my custon login pages. Now, this plugin solved my problem with a single click of installation and it's what I wanted for months. Thank you!

Blocks fake SPAM user registration

I was having issues with bots visiting my site and creating fake users. This plugin very quickly and easily solved the problem. Thank you!

Simple and does want I want.

I have a custom registration form and don't want users bypass it. This plugin does force users to go through the custom form.
Thanks.

Great plugin

I was having trouble with bots registering through the default WP registration page. I disabled the link in wp-admin but they were doing it directly from the registration page. I am handling user registration via custom login page so I did not need a default registration. I googled the options, downloaded "Disabled WPRegistration Page" plugin and it works like a charm.
