Single Page Registration Form
Creating a user-friendly registration process is essential for any website. ProfileGrid’s simple, single-page registration form keeps things easy and efficient. In this guide, we’ll show you how to display a single-page registration form using ProfileGrid, making your website more welcoming and accessible to new users.
Keep in mind that you can also create a multi-step registration form, offering a more detailed process for your users. This option is explained in detail in a separate article.
Shortcodes
The shortcode for the ProfileGrid single-page registration form is shown below:
|
[profilegrid_register gid=”x”]
|
But before we move on, let me explain how to find the value of “x.”
When you create a registration form for a group, it appears on the Group Manager page.
Each group has a group ID located in the bottom left corner. To display the registration form for a specific group on your site, simply replace “x” with that group’s ID.
Creating a Registration Page
It’s time to put the single page registration form shortcode on a new page. From the Pages section of your WordPress dashboard, create a new page.
Add the shortcode, and replace the group ID from “x” to “3”. This will display the registration form for Group 3 as a single-page form in WordPress. Click “Publish” and check the result on the front end.
As you can see, a lengthy form can easily fit on a single page with just a shortcode. This is especially helpful when you want to avoid cluttering your site with too many pages. Member sites often have multiple pages, like group pages and login pages. With this feature, you can now use just one page for all your registration forms, no matter how long they are.
Creating Default Registration Page
Next, if you want this registration page to be your default page, you can follow this simple step. From the Global Settings page under the ProfileGrid menu, click the General option.
You will land up on a page similar to the one in the screenshot below. From here, in the Default WP Registration Page space, choose the new registration page. Then click on ‘Save’.
In this way, you can create your own form as the default WordPress registration form.
Summary
In this article, we covered how to create and display a single-page registration form in WordPress using the ProfileGrid plugin. By using a simple shortcode, you can streamline your site without adding extra pages, which is particularly beneficial for membership sites with multiple sections. This method allows you to offer a clean, user-friendly registration experience all on one page.
Additionally, for those who need a more detailed process, multi-step registration forms are also possible and covered in a separate article.
Can users only be members of one group?
Yes, just use registration form of one group only and do not create other groups. Thank you for reaching out.
I am new to this and following along but when you say create a page and then it just says “add the short code”……add it where? I added it where I think it should go according to a couple videos and all I see on the page is the code.
Please make sure that the plugin is activated and that you have added the correct shortcode. You can add a “Shortcode” block to a page and then insert the plugin’s shortcode into it.
