Hey Margaret. “All you need to do is put “Register” in the title and save it.” That’s really all you need to do. Buddypress uses templates to display the form. There’s nothing you need to put on the page. Its all done in the backend. Maybe some screenshots will help.
The reason it takes you to the home page is because you’re already logged in. Log out and go to yoursite.com/register. And yes, you need to change yoursite.com to your sites url. When I was customizing my register page, I had WP Admin open in Chrome (obviously logged in) and I’d view the registration page in Firefox (logged out). That way I didnt have to log in and out to view changes, I only had to switch windows.
I can tell you that most people put a login link in the menu that will pop up a login modal or the buddypress login sidebar widget. The only time I ever get the wp-login.php page is when I type my password in wrong and get directed over there.
In the screenshots, there is a login menu item under My Account on the Kleo demo site that when clicked will bring up the login modal.
Also, don’t be confused by the wp-login.php screenshot. Your url doesn’t need “Kleo” in front of it.
I hope this helps.
