  As Pete suggests, check the following if a profile is in use:
  
  For the Civi profile under 'Advanced settings' tick either:
  
  WordPress user account registration option?
  
  * Give option, but not required
  * Account creation required
  
  In Wordpress under 'Settings' - 'General' you have to ensure that ' Anyone can register' is also enabled.
  
  Once that's done you should be able to preview/test the sign up form (thought the create account options only show if not already logged in or using a private browsing window).
