When it comes to the Registration page, you should go the extra mile, as BuddyBoss has its own Registration page.

You can easily convert it to the default WordPress URL /wp-login.php?action=register. Simply follow the steps mentioned below.

For this purpose, go to the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to BuddyBoss, and click the Settings option.

Change the default registration page.

Now, type the default WordPress register URL, i.e., /wp-login.php?action=register.

When done, scroll down and click the Save Settings button.

Step 2: Paste a Code in the Theme’s functions.php File

Next, you’ll be required to paste the code into the Theme’s functions.php file.

Note: It’s recommended to use a child theme to edit the functions.php file instead of the parent theme. There are chances to lose the modified code when you update your theme. It might cause some adverse effects on your website.

Here is the code for you:

add_filter( 'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect', 'loginpress_bp_core_wpsignup_redirect', 10 );

/**
 * Redirect the user to the default register page instead of custom registration page.
 *
 * @return bool | string The URL to redirect to.
 */
function loginpress_bp_core_wpsignup_redirect() {
	return false;
}
