How to Hide the “Create an Account” Button on the Sign-In Page

Introduction

The BuddyBoss platform does not provide a built-in option to hide the “Create an Account” button on the sign-in page. You can hide or remove this button by adding a small custom function to your active theme. This guide explains how to hide the “Create an Account” button on the login page.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

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, open Theme Functions (functions.php).
   
4. Add the following code just before the closing PHP tag (?>):
   

function my_login_css() { ?>
    <style type="text/css">
        .login .login-heading a {
            display: none;
        }
    </style>
<?php }
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'my_login_css' );

5. Click Update File to save the changes.
   

After this, the “Create an Account” link will no longer appear on the login page.

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 your child theme’s functions.php file. Clear your browser cache or any caching plugins and refresh the login page.

Q: Will this affect other pages or functionality?
A: No. This only hides the link on the login page. The registration functionality remains active for other forms or links.
