    Why does 'wp-login.php?action=register' open the login page and not the register page?

    Because the register page is wp-signup.php in MU?

    I'm not getting that.

    At the moment it opens wp-login.php?action=register
    If I then click register it open /blogname/signup/ and gives me a 404 error.

    It's doing the same on both my production and test server, the test is a fresh installation.

    /blog/signup/ still giving me a 404

    The registration link is <domain>/<path>/wp-signup.php for MU.

    Maybe I'm rubbish at explaining myself:)

    If you enable register on your blog, by setting "Users_can_register" to 1. A register link is added to your blog home page. When you click on this register link it generates this URL

    http://mydomain.com/blogs/dansblog/wp-signup.php

    /blogs/ being my base directory
    /dansblog/ is my blog name

    this is what gives me a 404

    Ahhhh... that makes more sense now.

    Although I can't offer any help on it. Does removing your blog name from it resolve OK?

    /blogs/wp-signup.php?

    That "should" be where it points to. I have a subdir install for testing on my localhost, and it's passing it over fine.

    Yes, it resolves fine when I remove the blog name.
    I think I am understanding this problem better after posting on a few other topics.

    If you click register from a blog on a subdir install, the user is not registered to that blog. This is mentioned here by merqtio.

    I'm still looking for a solution for sub-blog registration.

    Hey folks, I'm trying to consolidate this question with other similar threads at a new thread here. See if this answers the question...
