65254	wp_signup_url() function proposal	virgodesign		"Hello everyone,

I noticed that WordPress already provides several helper functions to retrieve authentication-related URLs, such as:


{{{
wp_login_url()
wp_logout_url()
wp_registration_url()
}}}

However, there does not seem to be an equivalent function for retrieving the Multisite signup URL.

Developers currently need to manually build or retrieve the signup URL, typically using {{{network_site_url( 'wp-signup.php' )}}}. This may create inconsistency and make registration/signup URL handling less uniform.

Additionally, WordPress already relies in multiple places on the following filter:

{{{
apply_filters( 'wp_signup_location', network_site_url( 'wp-signup.php' ) );
}}}

This seems to indicate that there is already a need for a centralized and filterable signup URL mechanism, but currently there is no dedicated global helper function encapsulating this behavior.

I would like to propose adding a new function:

{{{
wp_signup_url()
}}}

Possible behavior:

- In Multisite, return the filtered network signup page URL.
- In non-Multisite installations, it could return {{{wp_registration_url()}}}.

Example implementation idea:

{{{#!php
<?php
function wp_signup_url() {

   if( is_multisite() ) {
       return apply_filters( 'wp_signup_location', network_site_url( 'wp-signup.php' ) );
   }

   return wp_registration_url();

}
}}}

Benefits:

- Improves API consistency.
- Centralizes signup URL generation logic.
- Ensures consistent application of the wp_signup_location filter.
- Simplifies plugin and theme development.
- Avoids repeated custom implementations across projects.
- Provides a clearer semantic distinction between registration and Multisite signup flows..

I’d be happy to hear feedback about the preferred behavior for non-Multisite installations and whether this could be a useful addition to Core."	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Networks and Sites		normal				multisite
