I am using tutor 18.1.3. I am desperately trying to hide the “Register” link from this page:  
[https://apps.edx.edu-dev.calculquebec.cloud/authn/login](https://apps.edx.edu-dev.calculquebec.cloud/authn/login)  
and I can’t figure out instructions for it to actually work.

After sifting through _many_ posts regarding the same topic, I figured out this seemed the most up to date, but it does not work.

I have defined [brand-openedx/paragon/\_overrides.scss at 0.1 · calculquebec/brand-openedx · GitHub](https://github.com/calculquebec/brand-openedx/blob/0.1/paragon/_overrides.scss)

Configuration parameters are here:

> <https://github.com/calculquebec/edx/blob/main/hieradata-dev/hiera.yaml>

> <https://github.com/calculquebec/puppet-tutor/blob/main/manifests/init.pp>

and added a plugin to install it, and it just is not work. Why is it so complicated ? I have spent over a day trying to hide a single HTML item!

I don’t understand, according to

> <https://github.com/calculquebec/frontend-app-authn/blob/master/src/logistration/Logistration.jsx#L126>

and

> <https://github.com/calculquebec/frontend-app-authn/blob/master/src/logistration/Logistration.jsx#L43>

it should check SHOW\_REGISTRATION\_LINKS, and not show the links given that I define SHOW\_REGISTRATION\_LINKS to false here

> <https://github.com/calculquebec/edx/blob/main/hieradata-dev/hiera.yaml#L12>

Why is it not working ? Do I need to set it through something else, like `mfs-lms-production-settings` and `MFE_CONFIG['SHOW_REGISTRATION_LINKS']` ?

Ok, the solution is a plugin that does:

```auto
hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(("mfe-lms-production-settings", "MFE_CONFIG['SHOW_REGISTRATION_LINKS'] = False"))

```

this is for MFE, while this

```auto
hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(("common-env-features", "'SHOW_REGISTRATION_LINKS': false"))

```

is for the LMS/CMS.

No need to fork anything or patch any theme.
