The Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On<\/a> makes it extremely quick and easy to set up user registrations on your website. Once installed, this add-on can work with any form - new or existing - although some specific fields will need to be included in the chosen form.<\/p>\n With the User Registration Add-On you can...<\/p>\n The User Registration Add-On can be downloaded from within your WordPress dashboard under Forms > Add-Ons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is important to note that the User Registration Add-On does not automatically create Roles and Capabilities in WordPress<\/a>, nor does it provide any form of content restriction on your website. We recommend Members<\/a> or User Role Editor<\/a> if you need to create and manage Roles and Capabilities<\/a> and restrict content on particular pages or posts.<\/p>\n For more in-depth information on the User Registration Add-On, check out the Gravity Forms Docs<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, in most cases, you'll want to collect the following information:<\/p>\n Depending on your particular needs, you may also want to collect additional information, although we recommend keeping this initial registration form as short as possible to help boost submissions.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to create a user registration form from scratch? Head over to our Form Template Library<\/a> to download our pre-built user registration form<\/a>, then simply import it to your website\u2026<\/p>\n Before the form begins to automatically register new WordPress users, the User Registration add-on will need to know how to handle the information it's given. Don't worry, Gravity Forms makes the handling of submitted data easy to configure with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n To register new users, just click on the form\u2019s Settings <\/strong>tab, scroll down to User Registration<\/strong>, and create a new form feed. When the form is submitted, the feed tells Gravity Forms what to do with the submission - in this case, the feed will be creating a new WordPress user.<\/p>\n From here, all you need to do is map your fields to corresponding fields within the WordPress user. We won't go too deep into each option inside user registration feeds, but if you want to do some additional reading, take a look at Creating a Feed for the User Registration Add-On<\/a>.<\/p>\n Creating new WordPress users on the front-end of your site isn't very useful if they can't log in. Included in the User Registration add-on, Gravity Forms allows you to embed a user login form into any widget area with the Login widget.<\/p>\n The Login widget is automatically enabled as long as the User Registration Add-On is active. To embed it on your site, just jump over to the Widgets<\/strong> section of your WordPress admin dashboard and place it inside any of the widget areas that are provided by your active theme.<\/p>\n For more information on configuring the login widget, take a look at the User Registration Login Widget documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you don't have Gravity Forms or the User Registration Add-On, don't worry.
