WP Forms user registration form

The code snippet below demonstrates how to create a user registration form using WP Forms, a popular WordPress plugin for creating forms.

function wpsnippets_user_registration_form() {
    ob_start();
    wpforms_display( 1 ); // Replace 1 with the ID of your WP Forms registration form
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'user_registration_form', 'wpsnippets_user_registration_form' );

This code snippet creates a custom shortcode [user_registration_form] that can be used to display the user registration form anywhere on your WordPress site.

To use this code snippet, you need to have WP Forms installed and activated on your WordPress site. Replace 1 in the wpforms_display() function with the ID of your WP Forms registration form. You can find the form ID by editing the form in WP Forms and checking the URL in your browser’s address bar.

Once you have added this code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin, you can use the [user_registration_form] shortcode in any post, page, or widget to display the user registration form.

This code snippet is useful when you want to provide a user-friendly registration form for your WordPress site visitors. It allows you to easily integrate WP Forms’ powerful form builder capabilities into your user registration process.

Examples

Example 1: Customizing the WP Forms user registration form

This use case demonstrates how to customize the WP Forms user registration form by adding custom fields and modifying the form layout.

function wpsnippets_customize_wpforms_user_registration_form( $form_fields ) {
    // Add a custom field to the form
    $form_fields['custom_field'] = array(
        'label' => 'Custom Field',
        'type' => 'text',
        'required' => true,
    );

    // Modify the form layout
    $form_fields['layout']['fields'] = array(
        'custom_field',
        'first_name',
        'last_name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'submit',
    );

    return $form_fields;
}
add_filter( 'wpforms_user_registration_form_fields', 'wpsnippets_customize_wpforms_user_registration_form' );

This code example demonstrates how to customize the WP Forms user registration form by adding a custom field and modifying the form layout. The wpforms_user_registration_form_fields filter is used to modify the form fields array. In this example, a custom field named “Custom Field” is added to the form, and the form layout is modified to display the custom field before the default fields.

Example 2: Validating custom fields in WP Forms user registration form

This use case demonstrates how to validate custom fields in the WP Forms user registration form to ensure that the user provides valid input.

function wpsnippets_validate_wpforms_user_registration_form( $errors, $fields ) {
    // Validate the custom field
    if ( empty( $fields['custom_field'] ) ) {
        $errors['custom_field'] = 'Please enter a value for the custom field.';
    }

    return $errors;
}
add_filter( 'wpforms_user_registration_form_errors', 'wpsnippets_validate_wpforms_user_registration_form', 10, 2 );

This code example demonstrates how to validate custom fields in the WP Forms user registration form. The wpforms_user_registration_form_errors filter is used to validate the form fields. In this example, the custom field is checked for empty value, and if it is empty, an error message is added to the $errors array.

Example 3: Adding custom user meta data from WP Forms user registration form

This use case demonstrates how to add custom user meta data from the WP Forms user registration form to the user’s profile.

function wpsnippets_add_custom_user_meta( $user_id, $fields ) {
    // Add custom user meta data
    if ( ! empty( $fields['custom_field'] ) ) {
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'custom_field', $fields['custom_field'] );
    }
}
add_action( 'wpforms_user_registered', 'wpsnippets_add_custom_user_meta', 10, 2 );

This code example demonstrates how to add custom user meta data from the WP Forms user registration form to the user’s profile. The wpforms_user_registered action is used to perform actions after a user is registered. In this example, the custom field value is added as user meta data using the update_user_meta function.
