Welcome to the Joomla forum!

You created this topic in the subforum Extensions for Joomla! 4.x. Which template or extension are you using as the registration form?

Thanks
I use gt_portfolio template.

The GT Portfolio is a paid Joomla template. According to the download page, it is based on the free Helix Ultimate framework and the installation package comes with a bunch of third party extensions. Was the installation package a so called quickstart package, which installs a complete Joomla website and a number of third party extensions?

The latest version of Helix Ultimate plugin, v2.0.12, installs template overrides into the html subfolder of the template. The Helix Ultimate version or override of the registration form starts with the file templates/shaper_helixultimate/html/com_users/registration/default.php, which contains the following line:

Code: Select all

require HelixUltimate\Framework\Platform\HTMLOverride::loadTemplate();

That line directs Joomla to the file plugins/system/helixultimate/overrides/com_users/registration/default.php. When the Helix Ultimate template is tested at the front end, the registration form is displayed with reasonably wide fields, completely different from your screenshot.

Therefore we can safely assume that the registration form shown in your screenshot comes from a different override, most likely stored in the html subfolder of the GT Portfolio template. This template may have some configuration options to do with styling.

If the template does not have any higher level configuration options, you have to adjust the styling manually by editing the override file, presumably templates/gtportfolio/html/com_users/registration/default.php, The other option is to rename or remove the override folder or file from the html subfolder of the template and Joomla will then display the standard Joomla version of the registration form.

If the above does not help, check the version of the Helix Ultimate plugin used by the GT Ultimate template and contact the vendor of the template package for assistance.

Thank you Toivo
by deleting the default.php file in the specified folder it becomes more better than before
but
the text areas are displayed on the entire line of the window.
how can i reduce it ?

That is usually done by adding CSS code into a file that overrides the CSS code from the template. The name of the file containing the styling depends on the template framework. Follow these instructions for Helix Ultimate:
