After making these changes, the registration issue did not occur in our test environment. If you're experiencing this, we recommend you: 1. Reinstall the WordPress core files via Dashboard → Updates by clicking 'Reinstall Now'. 2. Temporarily disable Cloudflare features, particularly caching, transformations, or rewrite rules. For more details, visit Cloudflare reference. **** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with these steps**** After completing these steps, try registering again.
