Add setting to allow access to registration page for non-logged-in users #375
Description
Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when Restricted Site Access is enabled, all front-end pages including the user registration page are restricted based on the plugin’s access rules. This prevents new users from registering when the site is under restriction.
To improve flexibility, introduce a new setting (default: disabled) that allows administrators to permit access to the registration page (/wp-login.php?action=register or a custom registration URL) for any user who is not logged in.
Designs
Potential code snippet from @dkotter to consider:
add_filter(
'restricted_site_access_is_restricted',
function ( $is_restricted, $wp ) {
if ( ! empty( $wp->request ) && 'wp-signup.php' === $wp->request ) {
$is_restricted = false;
}
return $is_restricted;
},

);

On single site the registration page isn't restricted — RSA only hooks
parse_requestandwp-login.phpnever runs it; I registered a user on a fully restricted site to confirm.On multisite,
wp-login.php?action=registerredirects towp-signup.php, which requireswp-blog-header.phpbefore itsis_multisite()bail, soparse_requestfires and RSA blocks it there.That narrows the setting to unblocking
wp-signup.php; matchingwp_signup_locationrather than a literal path would keep it correct if signup is relocated.
