Title: register.php missing Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # register.php missing * [startingtofeelreallystupid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/startingtofeelreallystupid/) * (@startingtofeelreallystupid) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registerphp-missing/) * Hi, Thanks for your previous reply to me. My site is now running in the right domain name but the register link doesn’t work. I’ve ticked the ‘anyone can register’ box in general settings. When I click on ‘register’ I get a 404 error. And I’ve looked through the whole site and there is no ‘register.php’ anywhere. I was logged out of my site when I tested it. Again, thanks for your time. Kind regards, Greg.

The function to call/display the register link on your page is named** wp_register()**. If you are getting a 404 Error as opposed to a PHP error, I would confirm that /wp-login.php exists firstly! * Also, are you using a certain theme or a widget to allow users to register? * Thread Starter [startingtofeelreallystupid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/startingtofeelreallystupid/) * (@startingtofeelreallystupid) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registerphp-missing/#post-3691616) * Hi Matt, thanks for you’re reply. Yes there is a wp-login.php. I can log into the site ok. The lost password link works fine but the register link doesn’t although it did 3 weeks ago. The theme is a basic one I wrote with artisteer and it allows users to register.

Try if it’ll work.

Is it a widget or you added the code yourself? * [Borko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media-x/) * (@media-x) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registerphp-missing/#post-3691635) * Anyway,there are interresting plugins in the WP plugin directory you might consider using: [Sidebar login](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-login/), [Tabbed login](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tabbed-login/), [WP login box](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-login-box/) … * Thread Starter [startingtofeelreallystupid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/startingtofeelreallystupid/) * (@startingtofeelreallystupid) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registerphp-missing/#post-3691792) * I’ve reinstalled wp in my root directory and am using sidebar login and it now seems to be working and stable. But now there is no comment window and I’ve been through all the settings to turn on commenting without success. Any ideas? * [Borko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media-x/) * (@media-x) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registerphp-missing/#post-3691796) * Greg, is “allow comments” in the Discussion tab of Edit Page ticked? If you don’t see the Discussion tab, click Screen Options on any Edit Page and tick Discussion. Did you follow [ALL these steps](http://codex.wordpress.org/Comments_in_WordPress) for enabling comments?
