# wp_register errors

 * Hello.
    I’m running WP 3.01 MU (.tld and .tld/dev)
 * Working on the /dev instance at the moment:
    got my custom theme going and at
   one point I call `wp_register('', '', true);`
 * When not logged in, this gets me a ‘Register’ link leading to
    .tld/dev/wp-login.
   php?action=register
 * Which redirects me to .tld/dev/wp-signup.php
    and that turns out to give an error(
   _in Chrome_)
 * _In Firefox_ .tld/dev/wp-signup.php seems to redirect me further up to .tld/wp-
   signup.php so I don’t get an error but I get the wrong signup page.
 * So, I did read from [The Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register)“
   _On WordPress µ, there is no /wp-register.php file, and /wp-login.php?action=
   register is not a valid registration form. Thus, wp\_register function does not
   show a registration link._“
 * Well: i am getting the ‘register’ link out of wp_register just fine, but it seems
   I’m missing something else to make it go where it needs to.
 * I am also using the Register Plus Redux plugin – but that doesn’t seem to kick
   in yet (plus, locally, on a non-MU instance of WP the whole thing runs fine).
 * Found many threads on similar scenarios on the forums, but most seemed to be 
   issues with redirecting plugins – suggestions?
 * Thanks in advance

 * That’s slightly incorrect. Yes the registration link WILL show.
 * It will also redirect the user to the main site in the install to the signup 
   page there.
 * And it is no longer mu. You’re running multisite or a network (network will be
   way more prominent in 3.1). If you say MU most people assume pre-2.9.2.
 * So… just link to the signup page.

 * Hey Andrea, thanks for the reply – and the clarification (been struggling with
   the MU vs multisite terminology since 3.0).
 * Anyway, so… the recommended approach is to add a link to the signup page on my
   own _instead of_ using wp_register?
    I’ll try that and see if Register Plus Redux
   still kicks in that way. See, part of the problem is that we need to have a few
   extra fields on sign-up, like mailing address, membership level, etc. Register
   Plus Redux allowed all that easily – but if in multisite there’s a preferred 
   alternative, I can change direction quickly.
 * Thanks again – I appreciate the help

 * Register Plus Redux might not work properly in multisite, as the registration
   process is completely different. Different page, different signup… have a look
   at the wp-signup.php file, cuz there *is* hooks in there. 🙂
