How to Hide the “Create an Account” on the Login Page

Introduction

The Login page in BuddyBoss displays a “Create an Account” link by default. If you want to hide this link for all users, you can do so by adding a small custom function to your active theme. This guide explains how to hide the “Create an Account” on the login page.

Custom Workaround

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor in your WordPress admin dashboard.
   
2. Under Select theme to edit, choose your active theme (preferably a BuddyBoss Child Theme), then click Select.
   
3. From the Theme Files list, click Theme Functions (functions.php).
   
4. Paste the following code just before the closing PHP tag (?>):
   

function bb_login_customs() { ?>
    <style>
        .login-heading span > a { 
            display: none; 
        }
    </style>
<?php }
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'bb_login_customs');

5. Click Update File to save your changes.

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The “Create an Account” link is still visible.
A: Make sure the code is added to the active theme’s functions.php file and that no other login customization plugin is overriding it.

Q: Can I hide only for certain user roles?
A: Yes. You can wrap the CSS inside a PHP conditional that checks the user role using current_user_can().

Q: Will this affect the registration page itself?
A: No. This only hides the link on the login page. Users can still access the registration page directly via URL.

Q: Can this be reverted easily?
A: Yes. Remove the code from functions.php and save the file.
