Description

Description:

I have set "Registration form" to "Disabled", and entering the URL, the link is correctly gone from the login form.
However, if i go to a private group, and issue a invitation link, the link sends me to a login form where the registration link appears again. The link seems not to be active though, as nothing happens when clicked.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. In admin section - Accounts --> Registration set "Registration form" to "disabled"
  2. Go to URL of chat to verify in login form link to registration is removed
  3. Enter a private group and generate an invite link
  4. Access the invite link in a URL - link to registration is back
Expected behavior:

The link to registration should be removed when registration form is set to disabled.

Actual behavior:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through a private-group invitation link after disabling the Registration form in Admin > Accounts > Registration. Compare the invite-link login form with the regular login form; done means the registration link is absent or consistently inactive when registration is disabled.
