Add WordPress Form Number Field with RegistrationMagic

One can use the WordPress form number field for taking user data in numeric values such as unique identification number, account number, etc on the registration form. Number fields are extremely essential to create a complete registration form aimed at taking only authentic users.

A WordPress form Number Field accepts numerical value inputs only. Users cannot add alphanumeric texts to this field. So, this field in a form declines any other value confirming whether the user is entering a correct data.

To broaden the scope of your WordPress registration form you need to install a form building plugin that offers custom fields to add to your form. RegistrationMagic is one such plugin that offers an array of custom user fields including the WordPress form Number Field.

RegistrationMagic adds a variety of WordPress new user registration solutions to your site. Your site can buy and sell products, offer newsletter subscriptions, assign user roles etc. all via these forms. The custom fields of this plugin, help to create such dynamic forms. Users can also add space between WordPress form fields to design a neat content heavy form.

So, let’s proceed to add the WordPress form number field to online forms with RegistrationMagic.

Navigating to the Number Field

From your WordPress dashboard, go to the “All Forms” section in the RegistrationMagic Plugin menu.

So, now here, you click on the Add Field link at the top corner of the page to see the wide range of fields from RegistrationMagic.

A pop-up will appear consisting of all the predefined Fields of this WordPress profile plugin.

However, any new form that you build with RegistrationMagic comes with three mandatory fields email address, username, and password. Along with them, users can choose to customize their forms with these custom fields.

A page titled “New Field” will appear. Here you will find different fields namely label, placeholder text, hover text, icon, and advanced settings.

Tips: Even after choosing a certain field, users can change the Field Type from the New Field page as well. A drop-down beside the heading provides a list of all the available fields.

Here the Field Type stays as “Number” since we need this field to allow the users to the only input value in numbers. Name the Label as something which will help you recognize the number field on the frontend. In our example, the Label is “Unique Identification Number”.

The Placeholder Text field holds the text which appears inside the input box just before the user enters the value.

The Hover Text section is to provide a basic description of the field. In our example, we have filled it with “Accept Numerical Values”.

Navigate to Icon Settings. This will create an Icon just before the field where the user will enter the text.

Next options are Icon Colour and Icon Container. Icon Color provides a particular color to the icon. Icon Container chooses the background color of icon container.

Container Capacity and Container Shape determine the capacity and shape of the icon’s container.

Lastly, scroll down and click on Advanced Settings. Here, you will find a lot of fields incorporated. Let us take them up one by one.

Advanced Options

You can add CSS class attribute from here. However, the HTML must be a predefined attribute.

Then, assign the maximum number of field length as per your need. This will set the limit as to how many digits can be entered in the input box.

Next, the “Required Field” denotes that it is mandatory to fill this field.

Mark the checkbox and move on to the “Accept only Unique values”. This field determines whether you are inserting the same value again and again into the form.

Set the message as “This entry has already been used. Please use a different one”.

The next segment “Add this field to User Account” showcases this value in RegistrationMagic’s “User Manager Area”. It displays the value on the frontend of the user account developed by RegistrationMagic’s shortcode.

With RegistrationMagic, users can display WordPress form using shortcode. These shortcodes are embedded on the cover of every form and are unique to them. One just has to copy these shortcodes and paste them on a new WordPress page to publish a form on the frontend.

The last checkbox is for admins to decide whether they want to allow users to edit their data inputs even after they have submitted the form.

Finally, after configuring all the necessary settings on this page, click on the “Add to Form” button.

Configuring the Number field into your WordPress form

Copy the shortcode from the form card and navigate to Pages on your WordPress dashboard.
