====== How to disable open user registration ======

:?: How can I prevent visitors on the wiki to register themselves? 

:!: This was previously done through a config option named "openregister" and was replaced by the general [[config:disableactions]] option in the recent stable release. Just disable the register action in the config manager like this:

----
If your configuration is read-only to the user running your webserver, you may edit your configuration directly: 
<code php>
$conf['disableactions'] = 'register';
</code>
to disable open user registration.
