Re: wp-signup.php redirects to registration-slug – WHY???
when you activate Buddypress, you enable this function
function bp_get_signup_page() {
global $bp; if ( bp_has_custom_signup_page() )
$page = $bp->root_domain . '/' . BP_REGISTER_SLUG;
else
$page = $bp->root_domain . '/wp-signup.php';</p>
return apply_filters( 'bp_get_signup_page', $page );
}
which redirects your wp-signup.php page to your BP_REGISTER_SLUG.
in order to change that url slug ~ modify your register slug in your wp-config.php by adding this line.
define( 'BP_REGISTER_SLUG', 'whatever_you_want_to_call_it_no_spaces_or_weird_characters' );
above the line. /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
