WordPress user roles (sometimes referred to as WordPress User Levels or WordPress User Types) extend or limit user control on the site. RegistrationMagic will assign the subscriber role to anyone filling the form. The “User Roles” section in RegistrationMagic’s user role editor helps in the management of previously created user roles. The role editor also assigns new user roles, as per your workflow.

Presently, there are five standard WordPress user roles. These include administrator, editor, author, contributor, and subscriber roles. Once you are familiar with these WordPress user roles, you can explore them from your WordPress dashboard.

Let us discuss each WordPress user role briefly first.

The Administrator Role

This role designates the user as an admin. Once you are assigned as an administrator, you can control any feature within the WordPress dashboard.

One can edit core files, modify themes and alter the WordPress user roles of others.

The Editor Role

With editor role, you can access any content. However, you will be restricted from making changes to themes and plugins.

An editor will immediately start managing and publishing blog and pages. Link management is also possible besides moderating comments.

Editors can thus manage every speck of a content but cannot alter the settings outside of content.

The Author Role

Authors can only edit their own posts; they cannot  supervise others’ posts. Author has the permission to add content to the media library.

The role rights allow Authors to delete obsolete content. However, they cannot delta or create pages.

The Contributor Role

The contributor will enjoy complete access to modifying, deleting and editing their draft posts. However, contributor cannot publish the post.

Access to the media library is also under restriction. Thus, the contributor needs to get admin authorization to access images, videos, and other media files.

Guest authors can relish this role if they don’t post on a regular basis.

The Subscriber Role

Subscribers can read the post and comment on the post. They can also create a profile through WordPress dashboard.

Configuring WordPress User Roles through RegistrationMagic plugin’s user role editor

From your WP dashboard click on the plugin menu. The first tab underlying this plugin is the “All Forms” tab, navigate to your desired form dashboard.

You will be redirected to a page where you can build, configure and integrate your page. Under the “Configure” header look for “Accounts”.

From Accounts page, you can configure WordPress user roles. Check the checkbox to add default Username and Password to the form. This will automatically register users in WordPress user area.

Next, explore the option to assign WordPress user roles. Click the drop-down and you will be able to see the five possible roles that can be assigned.

Choose any one of them. Click Save.

Alternatively, you can check box “Allow Users Choice of Roles”. This setting allow users to select their roles themselves, manually.

The next checkbox with the phrase “Force login after Registration” force user to log-in once user account is created. The last field “Email as Username” hides the username field. On checking this box, the Email will work as Username.

Click on save. You have now set up the user role for users registering on your site.

Incorporating more WordPress user roles

From your dashboard navigation to RegistrationMagic >> User Roles. You can create brand-new WordPress user role. However, the role can only inherit permission from one of the 5 pre-defined ones.

In this case, we have assigned Role Key and Role name both as Writer. The role key is the value of the role which will be stored in the database. This key will be invisible to user. The role name, however, is displayed on the front end.

The next drop-down lets you select which pre-defined role you want to inherit permissions from. Upon checking the last box “Sign-up charge”, you can redirect your users to make a payment upon choosing a role. Click Save.

Go back to “All forms”. Copy the shortcode from form card. Navigate to the “All Pages” section. Create New Page. Paste the shortcode. Click Update.

WordPress User Roles are now configured in your WordPress User Registration form. Shared below is a screenshot as to how the embedded User Roles will display on your registration form.

In order to assure a user that his/her form submission has been successful, sites often display a success message. If you host a professional registration based site, then you might want to display custom success message in WordPress to confirm every successful submission. Users feel prioritized when they know they are being monitored by an authorized site owner.

RegistrationMagic allows users to create intelligent forms to serve different purposes. But the success message for every form is in general, the same. The success message displays itself on the frontend of your site.

With our WordPress registration forms plugin, you don’t need to work much to configure a success message. You can actually display custom success message in WordPress using just the “Configure” section of this plugin.

One can choose to redirect your user to a different page after form submission and display success message in WordPress. One can also keep the user on the same page and display the message there itself. So, let’s proceed with our today’s tutorial, where we discuss how to display custom success message in WordPress.

Navigate to Customize the Success Message

From your WP dashboard click on the plugin menu. The first tab underlying this plugin is the “All Forms” tab. Archived in this section is each and every form created to date.

In this example, we configure success message for users submitting the General Purpose Form. This is the form located to the right side of the “Login Form”.

Hover your cursor on the form envelope and click on the dashboard link. Using this section, you can manage, analyze and configure forms. From here, you also get to set WordPress user roles.

Scroll down directly to the Post Submission area. This area allows you to manage activities after a successful form submission. Using this section, you can also display success message in WordPress. So now, go to the Post Submission area to configure your success message.

Configuring the Success Message

The primary field allows you to write a success message inside the input box. This is the message which users will see upon successful form submissions. You can even add media files such as an image or video to decorate the success message. In this instance, we use “The Form was submitted successfully” as the success message.

Shared below is a screenshot displaying the success message on the frontend, post form submission. Your users need to complete filling the form. Then, click on “Submit” to view this message. You can also have payments associated with your form. There you have the liberty to make your users submit form before collecting payment.

Other fields in this section help you display a unique token number. Turning on the ‘Auto Reply’ feature generates a unique token number. This token number goes into the mail inbox of the user once he/she submits the form.

Toggling the “Redirection” field takes the user to a different page after form submission. You can paste the URL or the page link where you want to redirect the user after form submission. You can also avoid redirection by selecting the “None” radio button. Consequently, your success message will be visible on the same page.

The last field, lets you submit form data to external URL. In case your current server crashes, the form data can be retrieved. As a result, you can maintain a different database for form submission.

You saw how easy it was to display custom success message in WordPress. Online form creation becomes really smooth with this plugin. It also lets you create intelligent contact form along with user registration forms. There are several fields to choose from to create functional forms. No need to code or design pages. Thus, even amateurs prefer this plugin.

You have certainly come across registration processes granting you access only after entering a passphrase. So, start replacing generic passwords with privately shared phrases. These are inclusive of spaces and restrict WordPress user access by Passphrase Code.

A passphrase is similar to a password. The only difference being the length of the string and use of spaces. Passphrases do not have character limits as in a generic password with a maximum length of 14 characters. Unlike passwords, a passphrase can include spaces between characters, numbers, and words.

Passphrases, however, are easier to remember and is way more secure than a password. Thus, they are more suitable for your WordPress form security. The length of the phrase is something that stands out from other security codes. A passphrase, for example, can be a memorable quote or random jumbled words which you can relate to.

The “Access Control” section in this plugin’s form dashboard helps you decide who can access the form and who cannot.

Your users will now have to enter a passphrase to gain access to the form. You can also set this in addition to setting limits by age and date.

Insert a question for asking passphrase in the input box of the first field on checking the checkbox. This question displays itself on the frontend of the form. Underlying is an input box where you insert the passphrase and click “Continue” to access the form.

Generating “Passphrase Question and Answer” for the frontend

In this example, we use “Enter the Secret Code” as the default question asking for a passphrase. Moreover, you can use any other question for the same. Then fill the underlying “Passphrase” input box with an apt answer to the question. Here, we will use “Register using RegistrationM@gic” as the passphrase. Now, scroll down to “Save” the passphrase configuration.

Notice that a passphrase can have spaces between words and the special characters. So here, “@” replaces the letter “a”. A special character certainly enhances the security of a passphrase. To illustrate, shared below is an image depicting the passphrase question and the input box demanding an answer.

Enter the same “passphrase” set with the “Access Control” page in the front-end to enjoy unrestricted access to the form. You can also set multiple passphrases. So, define them in the “Passphrase” input box separating each with a (|). Given below is the way you add multiple passphrases.

“Register using RegistrationM@gic | WordPress default login | RegistrationForm”

You can use any one of them to gain access to your WordPress form. So, this completes the guide on how to restrict WordPress user access by Passphrase Code. In short, implement this WordPress user login plugin today to enjoy form access using advanced security measures.

Set up the “Access Control” of your Form

The first field on this page is used to restrict user access by date in WordPress forms. Upon checking the box, users will have to input a date before they can access the form. This setting is quite useful for WordPress new user registration. Some forms and site content, which are not for a certain age, can be restricted using this field.

The “Question for asking date” is a mandatory field. Whatever question you insert in this section will display itself in the frontend. Then, users will answer this question by entering the date below. To give an example, shared below is an image as to how this date based access control will look on your form.

In this example, the “question for asking date” is set with the text, “Enter your Date of Birth” text. To sum up, this question is asked to the user for entering their birth date. This, in turn, will make sure that users of a certain age group register to your site.

The next field “Limit Type” allows you to select the “Age Limit” or “Absolute Dates” radio button.

These are Two Limit Types:

• Age Limit – This limit switches on the lower and upper age limit fields. These fields accept only numbers. Users falling in between the age group defined by the upper and lower limits can only access the form.
• Absolute Dates – This window switches on the upper and lower date limit fields. Users falling in between the two predefined dates can only access the form.

Other fields enable passphrase based form access control.

You can also enter an “Access Denied” note which the user will see if access is not granted. Moreover, you can be polite to your users with a note saying “Sorry, you don’t have the authorization to access this content”.

This is how you can easily restrict user access by date in WordPress forms.

Plus Factors of Restricting Users by Date

Since the age groups will then access their own forms and thus register to the courses meant for their own age. In that case, you can keep separate classes for kids and adults. Again for a kids camp which takes users till the age of 10, this feature will make sure, only kids till that age register.

Apart from that, adult membership sites or sites that offer mature content can benefit from the access control feature of this plugin.

Enable WordPress User Roles Based Access Control for your Form

In this article, we will restrict form access based on WordPress user roles. So, scroll down to the “Enable user role based form access control” field. Check the checkbox to enable/restrict access to forms based on the current user role.

Only the users belonging to the selected roles from the underlying area can access the form. Select the user roles who can access the form. You can also select multiple user roles using the checkboxes below. Users exclusively with the selected “user roles” can access the form content. In this case, we select the “Administrator” role. This means that going forward no one other than the admins can access the form.

So, now let us try to access this form from the frontend.

You can see, we are getting an “access denied” message when we are trying to fill this form. This is because we made this form only accessible to the admin, and I am logged in as an Author for this particular example.

User Role Based Account Creation

Now, we can configure a form to create a specific role with every user registration. This way, we can reduce the work of assigning roles to individual users.

First, select a form. Now, we will work with the Product form.

Proceed to the dashboard of the form. Then go to Accounts.

In the Accounts page of your form enable “Also create WP account“. Then in “WordPress user role” select any role of your choice. I selected Subscriber. Then Save the settings. Now whoever will fill this form will be automatically assigned the Subscriber role.

So, let’s check it out from the frontend. We will go to the User Area and find a user account who has submitted the form. Then we are going to see the role that the user has been assigned.

So, we see the user Ron submitted the Product Form. Automatically, he got the role of a subscriber since we configured the form so.

List of Default WordPress User Roles

Administrator Role – Users can access the dashboard, modify core files and themes using this role. An admin can also edit other user roles besides enjoying complete control over the content.

Editor Role – This role grants access to a part of the content. Editors cannot access themes, widgets, and plugins. The editor role can publish or edit any page or post.

Author Role – An author can only tweak elements of his/her own post. To sum up, they don’t have permission to access the content of other users.

Contributor Role – After a contributor writes or modifies a post, he/she must seek permission from the admin to publish it. Contributors cannot access media files without the say of the admin or editor.

Subscriber Role – After WordPress new user registration, every user is offered a Subscriber role if not specifically set to any other role. Subscribers can only view your site and comment under your posts. However, they have their own limits. As a subscriber, you cannot alter settings or the content of the site.

Use the checkbox to select which “WordPress User Roles” can access your form. This way you can easily restrict forms by WordPress user roles on your site. This way you can also create WordPress private pages by restricting users based on their roles.

With RegistrationMagic, you can create separate forms for separate purposes and users. And in just a few clicks, you are good to go. Hence, managing forms is no more a big deal with the use of RegistrationMagic. To know more about this plugin, visit our Facebook page.

Adding Fields to the Form

Right after installing the RegistrationMagic you will find the plugin menu on your site dashboard.

The first link on the menu All Forms will take you to the all All Forms page. This page will show you all the forms that you create through this plugin. Also, there is a Login Form on this page, with its own shortcode on the form cover. Users can publish a login form in any page on their site with this shortcode.

The forms in the All Forms page will show two links on the form cover if you hover the cursor on it. These are the Fields and the Dashboard link.

By clicking on the Fields link users will land on the Fields Manager page. Then when you click on the Add Fields link at the top left corner of the page, you can start adding the user data fields to the form.

Now, a pop up will appear with all the preset fields of this plugin, those which you can add to your WordPress form.

From here you can select the form type and configure the content for the frontend form. This way one can add numerous fields to their WordPress registration pages. Users can configure form number field to profiles images or time zone to social media links to their forms.

Configure Registration Form in WordPress from Form Dashboard

You can also adjust the number of submissions one single user can make. There are many other WordPress form security measures you can take with RegistrationMagic.

Go to the All Forms page from the plugin menu on your dashboard. The form we aim to configure in this case is the third form to the right. Hover your cursor on the form cover. Then, click the Dashboard link to configure the form.

The Dashboard displays details of every form submission. In addition, it displays an analytical graph showing the form submissions made over time. Other options allow you to Build, Configure, Publish and Analyze the form dashboard. One can tweak any form setting from this section.

Scroll down to the “Configure” section which is the third subheading from the top. Next, click on General Settings and start to configure registration form in WordPress for the selected form.

Configuring the Form Template

You are now on the General Settings screen of the form. The form name will display on the form cover as the form title. Form title usually is invisible to the frontend users. However, you can display your form title on the frontend with the help of the Form Meta Data widget.

The Form Description field allows you to include a brief summary of the form. Include details, features and use cases of the form in this input box.

Selecting the Form Type is quite crucial if you are looking to configure registration form in WordPress. This plugin allows the use of two form types.

• Enable WordPress User Account Creation: This form type registers users on site with successful form submission. Thus it is used for WordPress new user registration.
• Disable WordPress User Account Creation: This form type doesn’t auto-register users immediately with successful form submissions. This is for users who submit the form to address a query or make form submissions in general. In other words, it is also called a WordPress contact form.

Frontend Form Elements

The Content Above the Form field integrates an input box where you can include a text that’ll display on the frontend. This text appears just below the form title. You can address certain terms and conditions or guidelines for filling up this form in this space.

In case your form embeds multiple products, you can display the total sum of the products on your form. The total price updates itself with the addition/subtraction of every product during form submission.

Want to customize forms for your site? RegistrationMagic is your answer. It offers various fields and options to create the best registration forms. The plugin offers a feature called “Global Settings”. That allows users to manage General Form Settings, Security, and WordPress form payment settings. “Global Overrides” is this plugin’s dedicated section aiding you to override global settings in WordPress forms.

In some cases, you don’t need to apply ‘Global Settings’ to a form. This is the point at which “Global Overrides” comes into use. Since it allows you to set specific settings for a single form ignoring “Global Settings” completely. Thus letting you override global settings in WordPress.

Once you enable a global override, that Global Setting for the form will become ineffective. So all you need to do is, turn on the “Global Override” feature of this WordPress register page plugin and neutralize global settings.

On the other hand, not all settings can be overridden. Only those that are available in Global Overrides can be.

In this tutorial, we will learn to override global settings in WordPress forms.

Navigating to the “Global Overrides” section

First, install the RegistrationMagic plugin on your site. Then you will find the plugin menu on your menu panel. From there, click on “All Forms”.

Then you will land on the All Forms page. Here you will find all the forms that you create through this plugin.

Here we are going to work with the General Purpose Form. Hover on the cover of the form and click on “Dashboard”.

You are now on the “Dashboard” page of the form. From here you can publish and configure its features. Scroll down to the “Configure” section of your form dashboard. Click on the “Global Overrides” icon and drill into it.

You are now on the “Global Overrides” screen. Note that this setting, in this case, is only relative to the General Purpose Form. Users can override global settings on individual forms from this page.

Setting up Global Overrides

Using the first field, you can choose to send or not send email notifications to every user who submits a form. By checking the checkbox, you can manually add email IDs of users whose notifications you want to receive. You can add recipients by clicking the “Click to Add More” link. To sum up, the new recipient list overrides the list created in “Global Settings”.

The underlying field displays form limits above the form. The front end displays a text saying “10 out of 50 registrations complete” or “1 day left for registrations to close”. Selecting the “Yes” radio button displays the expiry countdown. Whereas the “No” button displays nothing. Further, selecting “Default” fetches the value from “Global Settings” itself.

Further, for WordPress new user registration, the admin has the right to choose which user he/she wants to take in. If admin selects ‘Yes’ in the “WordPress Registration Auto Approval” field, it activates user accounts post submission. If they don’t want to do so they can select “No”. Then activate users manually. The “User Manager” section allows manual activation of user accounts. Unless you go with “Default”. One can finally override global settings in WordPress by activating the functionality from “Global Overrides”.

You can also enable/disable your WordPress form security. Override the reCaptcha option in Global Settings by just selecting the “No” option. Selecting default retains reCaptcha in “Global Settings”.

Moreover, overriding it removes the reCaptcha from the form.

The last field sets the form submission limit for a device. In short, you can now set a limit to the number of submissions per day from a specific device. To disable this setting set the value to zero. Setting values other than zero prevents spammers from submitting the form many times.

One Plugin, Many Forms

This is how you override global settings in WordPress forms. It comes in use when you want to create unique forms for your site. Not all forms need to be governed by Global Settings. This is the advantage of this plugin. It allows users to manage forms globally as well as singly.

Global Settings has all the features to make your form an efficient one. From security, payment, design to post submission or automation jobs. There is also a wide range of options to merge third party plugins with your default form. So, you will find one-click options to integrate plugins like Aweber, MailChimp, Dropbox etc.

Since Global Settings takes care of all the forms in one go. The Global Overrides section from the form dashboard offers ways to alter each form one at a time. The WordPress option page of each form gives users the same settings as of Global Settings. So that users can override the features of Global Settings from each form Dashboard.

As an admin, both these options come very handy. No need to handle each form when you can do it globally via Global Settings. Then again, there is the option to make unique forms when you can override global settings for a certain form.

There’s no need to be a pro at coding or designing forms as this plugin does that for you. So even beginners are making use of it. Thus making it more popular with time.
