I need to add a code so it shorten my url address to a easier and not /wp?action=register

This is how my .htaccess looks like, underline is added recently and this is what I was informed to add, but this won.t work
Code:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^become-member/$ /wp-login.php?action=register
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
#edit #htaccess

    Try this. This should work

    RewriteRule ^become-member/$ /wp-login.php?action=register [NC,L]

    You need to switch the sequence of the rulesets, because your member rule will never execute:
    Code:
    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^become-member/$ /wp-login.php?action=register

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress
    The original rules said,
    #1 if the requested page is for 'index.php', don't rewrite the target, stop processing
    #2 if the requested filename is NOT a file (! -f)
    #3 if the requested filename is NOT a directory (! -d)
    #4 then send whole request to /index.php and stop processing ( [L] )

    EVERY request to a WP site fits one of the above rules - your new one would never even get processed.

      This is how it looks now
      Code:
      # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^become-member/$ /wp-login.php?action=register

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>


# END WordPress
      It is now possible to come to the register site but the URL is the same as before /wp-login.php?action=register

      What more do I need change?

    My mistake, sorry. You need to add an [L] flag at the end of your line:
    Code:
    RewriteRule ^become-member/$ /wp-login.php?action=register [L]

      I tried that to. Nothing happens stil showing /wp-login.php?action=register in the url bar.

      But don't I need to change some file? For example I have a file that is called wp-signup. In that file I can find /wp-login.php?action=register

        I'm afraid that I don't have any other suggestions to give you. It might be that you're getting redirected around by WP itself after you rewrite the login page from the rewrite rule.
