 * Hello all…I have decided to ask for help since I can not seem to find any thru
   google and searching this site. Spent an hour looking and now I am just going
   to ask, I know someone knows.
 * Question: I am trying to set up a registration web page. Currently when I click
   register, I get forwarded to a 404 page. [http://thesigningclwb.com/rant/wp-login.php?action=register](http://thesigningclwb.com/rant/wp-login.php?action=register)..
   clicking this webpage takes me to [http://thesigningclwb.com/rant/register/](http://thesigningclwb.com/rant/register/)
   How do I fix this autoforward and allow it to bring up [http://thesigningclwb.com/rant/wp-login.php?action=register](http://thesigningclwb.com/rant/wp-login.php?action=register)
   so I can regsiter?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Most of your pages 404 as well. Did you change your permalink structure and not
   update .htaccess? Or add a plugin that requires a permalink update?

 * I did change the permalink structure. How do I go about updating the .htaccess
   or reverting back to normal permalink structure?
 * Thanks!

 * PLugins I currently have installed are:
 * Buddypress
    RegisterPLus TDO MINI BM custom Login
 * I am trying to figure out how to get Register Plus onto the register link. But
   I do not even have a register page it seems. What I am trying to do is create
   a register page.
 * I looked at that link Blah213, but I do not know why I am changing the .htaccess
   or what about it I need to change. I am currently using the default permalink
   structure again and dropped the date/post# one. I just want a register page :

 * Go back to the link Blah213 gave you, and re-read the content under “Creating
   and editing (.htaccess)” and “Automatically updating .htaccess”. In fact, I recommend
   reading the entire page for a better understanding of permalink settings.
 * 1) fix your permalinks – chmod .htacces to 666, then go to the permalinks settings
   in your dashboard, and update them. If wordpress can’t write to .htaccess, you
   will get an error message. Change the permissions back to 644 when you are done
   updating the file.
 * 2) make sure “anyone can register” is turned on in your wordpress dashboard settings.
 * 3) log out, then go to //thesigningclwb.com/rant/wp-login.php and click on the
   register link. If it works, it’s fixed. If it doesn’t, then disable the register
   plus and BM custom login plugins (possible compatibility issues with version 
   3.0. Read the compatibility reports and plugin specs on the plugins page) and
   try it again to see if the 404 is gone on the register link.

 * Thanks James and Blah!!!! I will be updating tonight to see if that corrects 
   it!
 * Many thanks!
