Understanding Registration Pages
What registration pages are, how they connect to LeagueApps, and what editors can safely change.]
Registration pages are where families sign up their children to play. They’re often the most important pages on your site — and because they involve payments and account creation, they need careful handling. Understanding what you can and can’t safely change as an editor protects families and keeps your league’s registration process running smoothly.
How Registration Works on This Site
Registration on your site is handled through LeagueApps — the same platform that powers your league management. A registration page in WordPress contains descriptive content (what the program is, who it’s for, how much it costs, deadlines) along with a link or button that sends families into the LeagueApps registration flow. The actual signup, payment, and confirmation all happen in LeagueApps — not in WordPress.
The WordPress Side vs. the LeagueApps Side
Think of the WordPress page as the storefront — it presents the program, answers questions, and invites families to register. LeagueApps is the back office — it handles the actual transaction. Both sides need to stay accurate and in sync, but they’re managed separately.
What Editors CAN Change in WordPress
You can safely update the content that describes the program: the page title, the description (what the program is, who it’s for, age groups), dates and deadlines mentioned in the body text (like “Registration closes May 30th”), the featured image, and any informational text on the page. These changes only affect what visitors read — they don’t touch the registration system.
What Lives in LeagueApps Instead
Registration pricing, payment options, available spots, registration open and close dates, waitlist settings, and confirmation emails are all managed in LeagueApps. If any of those need to change, your administrator handles it in LeagueApps. Changing text on the WordPress page won’t update what’s actually in the registration form.
What Requires Your Web Admin
Contact your web admin if: the LeagueApps registration link on the page needs to change (a new program was created), the page layout needs to be restructured, or you’re not sure whether a change should happen in WordPress or LeagueApps. When in doubt, ask first.
⚠️ Warning: Never change the LeagueApps link on a registration page without confirming with your web admin. If the link points to the wrong program, families may register for the wrong thing — or not be able to register at all.
