What Is the WordPress Blog Register URL WP-Register?
The content management script WordPress installs several files to your Web space. One of these files is "wp-register.php" and it is this file that your visitors must access to register accounts on your WordPress installation. However, you can also choose to disable registration, in which case, this page displays a message that others cannot register and will only allow currently registered users to log in to your website.

When you create a WordPress blog, there are several settings that you can use to customize your blog. One setting is allowing others to register. When you click "General" settings, you will see the option that allows anyone to register. When you enable it, any visitor can become a member of your blog by clicking the "Register" link that will appear in your "Meta" widget or by directly accessing the page "wp-register.php" on your WordPress-powered site. You can uncheck this option to disable open registration and remove the dynamic link from your widget or site.

When you install WordPress to your website, one of the files within the base directory is "wp-register.php." For example, if you install WordPress within the root directory of "yourdomain.com," the registration page will be located at "http://yourdomain.com/wp-register.php." However, if you installed WordPress into its own directory such as "/blog," then the register page will be found within that directory. This page has a registration form that looks similar to the log in form of WordPress. This form requires the user's email address and desired username.

Benefits
-
The WordPress register page allows users to create accounts on your blog without you manually creating or accepting users. Thus, you do not need to code anything to allow more users. Because WordPress will generate a password for registering users, they do not have to share their preferred password with you. Furthermore, the register page includes a link to the log in page, if the visitor has clicked the wrong link, as well as a page that rests forgotten passwords. If he has clicked the registration link because he can no longer access his account, he can attempt to access it by following the prompts.
Usage
-
You can enable open registration on your blog, via the "wp-register" page as a way to invite new authors to your blog. In fact, you can edit the page's code so that it better matches your blog. If you enable registration, there are plug-ins that increase the functionality of this feature. For example, some plug-ins allow you to create additional profile fields while others input anti-spam tools, such as CAPTCHAs, on the registration page. You may also use registration, in combination with some plug-ins, to grant access to restricted posts to only registered readers of your blog or to users of certain levels -- which you can assign from your dashboard. Unless you grant full administrative privileges to registered users, they will have limited roles on your blog/website.
