# Turn on Registration for Your WordPress Site

Before learners can sign up for your courses, you’ll need to enable registration on your WordPress site.

#### How to Enable Registration

1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to **Settings > General**.
2. Locate the **Membership** option.
3. Check the box labeled **“Anyone can register.”**
4. Scroll down and click **Save Changes**.

### Why This Matters

Turning on registration ensures that learners can create accounts, enroll in your courses, and track their progress. Without this step, new users won’t be able to sign up.

> **Tip:** After enabling registration, consider customizing your registration page in LearnDash to provide a branded, user-friendly experience.
