Answer 1

For Laravel 5.3 and 5.4, here is the proper way to do it:

You have to change:

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest');
    }

to

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

in app/Http/Controller/Auth/RegisterController.php

Answer 2

All I did was replace register blade code with login blade code. That way register still goes to login.

resources/views/auth/register.blade.php is replaced with resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

Answer 3

For Laravel 5.6+, paste the below methods in app\Http\Controller\Auth\RegisterController

/*
* Disabling registeration.
*
*/
public function register() 
{
    return redirect('/');
}

/*
* Disabling registeration.
*
*/
public function showRegistrationForm() 
{
    return redirect('/');
}

Now you're overriding those methods in RegistersUser trait, whenever you change your mind remove these methods. You may also comment the register links in welcome.blade.php and login.blade.php views.
