  • Hi @serenitytraders,

    The error message you’re encountering suggests that the user registration settings might not be configured correctly or there could be a conflict with a plugin or theme.

    Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

    1. Verify the subscriber role in the settings page, check the “New User Default Role” setting. Make sure it’s set to a role that allows user registration, like Subscriber.
    2. Disable all plugins and switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-One). Try registering a new user again. If it works, then the issue is likely caused by a plugin or theme. Re-enable plugins and the theme one by one to identify the problematic one.

    Hope that helps!
