Deactivate WordPress registration — here’s how!

To deac­ti­va­te the default regis­tra­ti­on page of Word­Press (/wp-login.php?action=register) and at the same time enable regis­tra­ti­on via Woo­Com­mer­ce, you can do the fol­lo­wing:

Add the fol­lo­wing code to the functions.php file of your the­me or use a plug­in for cus­tom code snip­pets to avo­id direct chan­ges to the the­me files:

function disable_wp_registration() {
    if (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == 'register' && !is_admin()) {
        wp_redirect(home_url());
        exit;
    }
}
add_action('login_init', 'disable_wp_registration');

This code checks if someone is try­ing to access the Word­Press regis­tra­ti­on page and then redi­rects them to the home page (or any other page you pre­fer).
