UsersWP has an intuitive Form Builder that can be used to quickly add registration and account forms to your site. There is no limit on the number of forms that you can add.<\/p>\n

You can create multiple register forms <\/strong>in UsersWP, each with its own Form Options and custom fields by creating new User Type.\u00a0<\/section>\n

Understanding the Form Builder Interface<\/h2>\n

UsersWP Form Builder screen is divided in two parts — on the left, you have the list of available fields, and on the right, you can see the fields that are actually added to the form.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

Adding fields to the form is fairly straightforward — you can click on the field of your choice, and it will be added to the form. You can then customize its settings as per your requirements. For instance, in the example below, we will add the <strong>Text<\/strong>\u00a0field to our form.<\/p>\n

\n
1<\/dt>\n
\u00a0Navigate to UsersWP > Form Builder.\u00a0<\/strong><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n
2<\/dt>\n
\u00a0Click on the Text <\/strong>field; it will be added to the form.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n
3<\/dt>\n
\u00a0You can now customize its settings as per your needs. You can specify a field label and description, choose whether its a required field, and also specify where it should be displayed on the frontend.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n
4<\/dt>\n
\u00a0Save your settings.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

The above process can be repeated for all fields, as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n

Two field options need to be borne in mind:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Is Active? – <\/strong>This should be checked, otherwise the field may not show up on the frontend.<\/li>\n
  • Include This Field in Register Form? – <\/strong>If checked, the field will show up in the Available register form fields.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n

    Register and Profile Tabs<\/h2>\n

    Once you have created an Account Form, you can tweak its registration fields by heading to UsersWP > Form Builder > Register.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

    Similarly, you can add profile tabs to specific forms from the page UsersWP > Form Builder > Profile Tabs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n
    It is noteworthy that whatever fields are added to the form from the Account Form Builder AND selected as “Include this field in Register form” will be available on the Register Form Builder.\nSimilarly, whichever tabs are selected from the Profile Builder for a particular form will be shown on the profiles of users that are registered using that form.<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
