I came across this code in the register.php file

“

I’m creating a join page with registration fields (regardless of if someone has signed in or not) and I want all of them to show, but apparently the fields stop loading when it reaches the line above.

How does that line affect the display of my fields? Is it saying “if the ability for someone to create a profile has been approved”?..what does that mean?
