Dashboard User Registration Settings Basic Method problem

sage12

I setup the dashboard - User Registration Settings to Basic but some prospective forum users cannot register because the registration page they see on their browser is that of "Approval - New users are reviewed and approved by an administrator (that's you!). They also see the statement "Why do you want to join".
I cannot understand why Approval registration method showed up whereas I setup Basic registration.
I need assistance to solve this abnormality.

look in your config.php

and verify it says Basic

$Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['Method'] = 'Basic'; // Options are: Basic, Captcha, Approval, Invitation

clear the files in your cache.

also if you are using some other caching might be creating your issue if your config.php has the Basic setting.
