Go to “Global Settings” from your RegistrationMagic plugin on your WordPress dashboard.

Drill into “Security” from the Global Settings page.

You are now in the Security or Anti-Spam page to configure CAPTCHA settings. Check the box beside the “Enable reCaptcha” field.

Once complete, you are prompted to enter the Site Key and Secret Key appearing as pop-ups. Nevertheless, both these keys play important roles in making the reCAPTCHA work.

Generating Site Key and Secret Key

Click the “here” hyperlink just after the description of the “Site Key” field. This takes you further to Google reCAPTCHA aiding you to create your own reCAPTCHA.

Click on “My reCAPTCHA” at the top right portion of the Google reCAPTCHA home page.

Start configuring and generating your reCAPTCHA from the next page. Assign a unique name as the “Label”. Choose the first radio button saying “reCAPTCHA v2”. This embeds an “I’m not a robot” checkbox on the form which is what we are targeting.

Enter a domain name which has not been used before. In this example, we go ahead with example.com. Accept the reCAPTCHA Terms of Service by checking the adjacent check box. Click on “Register”.

Adding reCAPTCHA to your WordPress login and registration form

In the meantime, you can now see your Site Key and Secret Key generated one beside the other. Simultaneously, copy both and paste them in their respective fields on the Anti-Spam page. Scroll down and click the “Save” button.

Eventually, you have added CAPTCHA in WordPress login and registration form. To illustrate, check the screenshot below which has the “I’m not a robot” statement embedded with a checkbox beside it.

The post How to Send Automated Welcome Emails in WordPress appeared first on RegistrationMagic.

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.

User Registration Overview

The user registration overview tab shows all the graphs and analytics in one place. In the first row, it has the basic count and functionalities related to forms and inboxes. The total forms count tells about the number of total forms. It also has an add new button to create a new form. The total submission tells about the overall submissions made to all the forms. Also, it has a link to the inbox page. The total users have the count of the number of users currently, with a link to the user manager. The total user roles have the count of user roles assigned to the users like administrator, editor, etc. Further, it has a link to the role manager. The submissions counter shows a graph that displays the number of submissions made in a span of either 1 day a week or a month. The trending forms show a pie chart with a percentage of which form has the maximum share of submissions. The latest submission column shows the list of the last submissions received in any of the forms.

The user registrations graph displays the number of registrations that occurred in the last 7 days, 7 weeks, a year, or the total count of all-time registrations. The login graph illustrates the number of logins that occurred in the last 7, 30, 60, or 90 days. The submissions counter indicates the number of submissions to various forms with options for Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, and Last Month. The latest forms tab lists the last 5 records created by the admin, offering options to directly access the form dashboard or edit form fields. The essential shortcodes provide quick access to shortcodes for features like login forms and user directories, making it easy to embed specific forms on your website.

The logins panel provides up-to-date information on login activities, indicating whether they were normal or abnormal and successful or unsuccessful. The settings panel displays various options, including general settings, user accounts, privacy, and more, and it offers a direct link to access the global settings window. The export options allow users to download submissions for a selected form in CSV format, which is compatible with spreadsheets. Users can also download a specific form, including its layout and settings, as a backup or for importing into another installation. The latest attachments and payments sections display the most recent attachments made to submissions and payment records, with an option to download the latest attachments using the download button.

Form Analytics

Form analytics offer detailed insights into form submissions, including submission percentages and more. You can reset all statistics by selecting “Reset All Stats.” The reports section compiles comprehensive reports on form submissions, payments, and other data, which can be downloaded in PDF format.

The Form Analytics screen starts with a frequency graph, which provides a visual representation of the difference between the number of form visitors and the number of actual submissions. You can filter these statistics for the last 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days using the ‘Show data for’ filter located at the top left.

‘Conversion %’ is a pie chart derived from the same data as the ‘Submissions Over Time’ graph, which tracks visits and submissions. It complements the ‘Submissions Over Time’ frequency graph, aiding in visualizing user drop-off on your form and providing the total number of form visitors. ‘Browsers Used’ is another pie chart displaying the browsers utilized by form viewers, valuable for optimizing your form for specific browsers. ‘Failure Rate’ signifies the percentage of users who visited but couldn’t complete or submit the form. ‘Average Filling Time’ indicates the average time users take to complete and submit the form, helping identify areas for simplification.

The ‘Browser Wise Conversion’ bar chart breaks down total form visits and submissions by the browser used. This data can be synchronized with the ‘Browsers Used’ statistic to determine which browsers your form should be optimized for.

The form submissions table, found at the bottom of the Form Analytics screen, presents a tabular summary of all form visits and submissions. Initially, it displays the most recent 10 records on the first page, requiring you to utilize pagination at the bottom right to access older statistics.

Field Analytics

Field analytics provides analytics for each component of a specific form. You can choose the form from the “Toggle Form” option. Each field in the form has its analytics, displayed mainly as pie charts. Segments are assigned to unique names, websites, or specific fields, enabling users to identify the segments with the highest percentage. The number of pie charts corresponds to the number of fields in the form, and if there are many segments, you can scroll through them using the down-key buttons.

Reports

The reports section empowers users with multiple options and the ability to perform multi-comparisons. It allows users to generate advanced and customizable reports containing essential information. To access “Reports”, users should navigate to the form dashboard, go to form analytics, and select the reports option. On the landing page, you will find selections like Form Submissions, Login Reports, Attachments, Payments, and Form Comparisons. On the extreme right-hand side at the top, there is an option to schedule email reports. 

The form submissions report generates a comprehensive summary of form submissions across various forms. You can customize the date range from the provided options or create your own. Use the “Select Forms” option to choose all forms or a specific one. Additionally, you can filter submissions by email for specific users. This data is available for download for future reference.

The login records report offers a date-filtering option. Users can then apply a status filter, such as success or failure, to generate a login records report.

The attachment report presents a breakdown of received file types. You also have the option to download all files attached to a form during the selected time period as a single zip file. The filter options include a date and a specific form.

The payments section compiles payment records for all payments made from the selected form within the chosen time period. Additionally, it features a payment status filter, encompassing pending, completed, canceled, and refunded payments.

The form comparison report generates a side-by-side comparison table for two chosen forms, considering various performance parameters. You can select any two forms and apply a date filter. This table offers a side-by-side analysis of several aspects, including success rate, total submissions, number of fields, total payment count, and more.

Scheduled email reports enable users to schedule and customize email reports. To create a new report, access the menu and customize its settings. Provide a name for the scheduled report and select its data source from options like Form Submissions, Logins, and Form Payments. Specify the recipients using the “Email Report To” option, choosing from options like Only Me, All Admins, or Other Users. Set the frequency for sending the email report and select the date and time for the initial report. Subsequent reports will follow this schedule. Lastly, customize the email subject and body. From the main page, you can manage scheduled email reports by deleting, enabling, or disabling them as needed.

So, the User Registration Overview, Form Analytics, Field Analytics, and Reports sections provide a comprehensive toolkit for users to gain valuable insights, manage form submissions, and generate detailed reports.

And it’s the same with WooCommerce. You can require your users to register for an account before they checkout. But here’s what you can’t do in WooCommerce:

Add extra custom user registration fields for WooCommerce to your checkout registration field.

At least not without help…

With Registration Magic, you can add as many extra custom user registration fields for WooCommerce registration form as your heart desires. Whether you want to find out where your visitors found your store, get more demographic data, or collect anything else…our WordPress Registration Plugin can help.

Here’s exactly how you can add new form fields to WooCommerce using Registration Magic Premium.

Step 1: Disable Guest Checkout

In order for your custom WooCommerce registration form fields to show up, the first thing you need to do is disable guest checkout for WooCommerce.

That means your guests will no longer be able to checkout without creating an account (or logging into an existing account). It’s necessary for your custom WooCommerce form fields to display.

You can disable guest checkout by going to WooCommerce → Settings → Checkout. Find the Enable Guest Checkout checkbox beside the Checkout Process section and make sure you uncheck it:

Step 2: Create Your New WooCommerce Registration Form Fields

Now, you’re ready to create your brand spankin’ new WooCommerce registration form fields. Your new form fields will display below the standard WooCommerce registration form.

You can create those new fields just like you would any other Registration Magic form. Here’s the process…

First, go to RegistrationMagic → Add Form. Make sure to give your form a name. You can leave all the other settings as blank or default:

On the next page, scroll down and click the Pages and Fields button:

In this interface, you can add the new fields you want to appear on your WooCommerce registration form. Remember – you don’t need basic fields like Email Address and Name. Those are already included in the standard WooCommerce registration form.

Let’s say, for example, that you want to add two new fields:

• Age
• Where did you find us?

You can create a simple text entry field for age and a dropdown with options for “Where Did You Find Us?”:

Just click on the form fields at the top of the page to add them. When you add each form field, you’ll be able to configure its options.

When you’re finished, your form field settings should look something like this (you can ignore the Email field – it won’t display on the final product):

Step 3: Tell WooCommerce to Use Your Custom Registration Fields

Last step, I promise! Now, you just need to set up the WooCommerce integration in Registration Magic.

To do that, go to RegistrationMagic → Global Settings → WooCommerce Integration:

Select the form you just created from the dropdown and click save:

And that’s it!

Now, when your users go to checkout, they should see two added fields below the standard WooCommerce registration form:

Step 4: Updates to WooCommerce functionality

Our Display Fields are also part of WooCommerce integration. Display Fields are informational snippets that you can add to your WooCommerce forms. It is a unique new system that adds extra layers of information, animations and dynamic data to your users while they fill up the form. You can insert these fields from the ‘Add Fields’ pop-up of RegistrationMagic’s Fields Manager.

With the launch of version 4.3.0.0 you can now do the opposite. It means, you can now add WooCommerce fields to any RegistrationMagic form! That’s right, even a regular form like a contact form. Beginning with this version, you will find a new section of fields appearing in your Fields Manager.

As you can see in the screenshot – WooCommerce Billing, Shipping and Number fields are visible right inside Fields Manager popup. Click on them to add to your forms. Remember, these fields will appear just like they do in WooCommerce checkout form. For users with an existing account, submitting a form with one of these fields will update user specific values in the database.

So this is another step towards a richer and more meaningful WooCommerce integration for your forms; and, there’s even more in store for you. Our future plans include adding WooCommerce products to your registration forms.

Wrapping Things Up

While you can technically use RegistrationMagic to add unlimited new fields to your WooCommerce registration form, we recommend that you be discerning when choosing which extra fields to add. Use your newfound power wisely. Add only those fields which truly provide you with valuable information.

We also recommend that you read our advance WordPress User Login Plugin guide. With Registration Magic, you can very easily step-up your WooCommerce user login analytics, and monitor user login timelines, login failure vs success rates and other important login parameters. You can also modernize your WooCommerce login process with two factor authentication and other advance login features.

Now, I assume you are already familiar with RegistrationMagic and know how to build forms with it. If not, head over to our earlier blog posts. Once we have the form ready, we want it accessible on our website, linked to a menu item or a button for visibility. The shortest and simplest way to do is through shortcode. We’ll go through all the possible methods one by one.

1. The ShortCode Method

Each Registration form has a unique shortcode attached to it. All we need to do is, paste the shortcode inside a page, post, or a widget, where form is to be displayed. It can be above the content, below it, or anywhere in the middle.

Let’s say we created a form named “Demo Form”. If we open the Forms Manager and look on the bottom half of the form card, we’ll see a snippet of text like this:

The number in the code signifies the form ID. It is different for each form. So for the “Demo Form” for our shortcode. A shortcode starts and ends with a square bracket. It needs to be copied as a whole.

Moving along, let’s create a new page on our site called “Sign Up” and paste this code inside content editor. Now it will look like this:

Update the page and preview the changes. The form will start appearing on the page. And that’s all there is to it. Remember, here we created a new page, but we can also paste the code in an existing page or post. Just place it where you want the form to appear. It can be after, say, a couple of paragraphs.

2. The Quick ShortCode Method

Well, it’s the same method sans the first step. We can insert shortcode right from the page/ post editor (without needing to copy it first from the form card). All we have to remember is the name of the form which we want to show.

See a drop down above the content editor which says “Add Form”? Clicking on it will drop down a list of forms we have created so far.

Click on the form and corresponding shortcode will be automatically get pasted inside the content editor.

3. The Embed Method

This method to display registration forms on WordPress site is for advanced users and therefore only available in Gold Bundle of RegistrationMagic. It works best when we want to show a RegistrationMagic form where there’s no option to paste the shortcode. For example – a site outside our WordPress site! Yes, we can display form on any site using this method and the registration records will show as usual inside your RegistrationMagic dashboard area.

Let’s get back to form manager page, shall we?

Alright, now just below the shortcode is an underlined link named “Get form embed code”. Clicking on it pops up a translucent black box.

An embed code is a lot longer than the ‘short’ code since it will be carrying more information about the form to be displayed on the external page. For those familiar with HTML can easily adjust the size of the form by modifying this code. The format is <embed ….some code…. >

We need to copy all of it. For the demonstration here, I am going to paste this code inside a blank HTML page.

Opening the page in a browser displays this:

So, these were the best 3 ways to display registration forms on WordPress site. I am sure publishing forms will be a piece of cake for you after this. Join us for our next post on another interesting feature very soon.

(Update: Note that we recently launched a floating front end button, an innovative (4th) way to display registration forms on WordPress site)

NOTE: This article is outdated and moved to here 

All the forms that your users submit to register on your site turn into new users on your site backend. So you don’t get to see the exact time of any WordPress form submission.

However, you can boost your site with the RegistrationMagic plugin to check WordPress form submission from your site dashboard. This is not just any WordPress form builder plugin, it offers you complete support to approve, analyze, and manage users on every WordPress form submission.

This plugin ensures that every form is listed on a definite page after submission. From there you can see the data and time of submission along with the total time a user took to fill it.

Apart from that, the admin has the right to activate, deactivate, or delete users on every WordPress form submission. Even there are options to change a registration form to a smart contact form at the push of a toggle. And the admin can check all these forms from his own site dashboard.

So let’s start this tutorial to help every site owner check WordPress form submission from their dashboards. But first, let me show you in brief how you can build a form with RegistrationMagic.

Create a WordPress Registration Form

RegistrationMagic makes it really simple to create and publish dynamic WordPress forms on your site. There are even options to display WordPress forms using HTML codes as well as its own preset shortcodes. Here we will publish a form with the preset shortcode unique to a form.

As you install the RegistrationMagic plugin, you will find the plugin menu on your menu panel. From there, click on the All Forms link.

You will then land on the All Forms page which stores all the forms that you create with this plugin.

In the left corner, you will find the New Form link. When you click on it, a pop up will appear with two form options. One will let you create a WordPress user account on form submission and one that does not create a user account on your site. This means if you want to create a WordPress registration form or a WordPress contact form.

From here, select your type of form and name it. Next, you will find your registration form appears on the All Forms page. Now, if you hover on the form cover you will find two links appearing at the bottom – Fields and Dashboard.

Then, from the Dashboard link, we can take care of the WordPress forms payment, design, analytics, security, etc.

Publish the Form

After adding user data fields to the form it is now time to publish the form for your users on the front end. RegistrationMagic makes form publishing also a really simple job with its preset shortcodes.

As you hover your cursor on form covers on the All Forms page, you will also find a unique shortcode there. This shortcode remains unique to every form and it will help you publish this form on the front end.

Now, copy the shortcode from the form card. Paste it on a new WordPress page and click on Publish.

You will then find your form on the front end of your site. This form is now ready to create WordPress user accounts on your site. Now after publishing this form, your users will submit it from the front end. And we will go ahead to show you from where you can check these WordPress form submissions from your site dashboard.

All Forms Page

First of all, let us talk about the All Forms page. This page not only stores all the forms that create, but also shows the number of submissions on every form cover.

In the above image, marked in red is the total number of successful submissions on that form. As more and users submit forms the admin can see the date and time of each WordPress form submission. Also, the total number of submissions at the top of the form cover updates automatically.

As you click on the total number at the top of the cover, you will land on the Inbox page.

This page shows the Email Id and First Name of all the users who submitted the form. The admin can filter user search from here. Also, there is the option to export all user data of this form to the system. From the Toggle Form space at the top right corner, you can select other form names to land on their Inbox page. The admin can even select any user from here and delete them from the Delete link on top.

Then, by clicking on the View link, you can see a user’s account detail.

The above image shows the account detail of a user complete with submission time, browser, visitor IP, mail id, first name, etc. You can also see that the admin has the option to edit user submissions from the Edit This Submission tab. Next, we will go-ahead to the Form Analytics page that lists all WordPress form submissions serially for the admin to check from the site dashboard.

Form Analytics

From your RegistrationMagic menu panel click on the Form Analytics link.

You will then land on the Form Analytics page where you will find all the WordPress form submissions listed in chronological order.

You will find the Visitor IP, the date and time, and the filling time of the WordPress form submission. Also, the second tab Submission will put a green tick on all the successful submissions. It will specify the forms where the users have filled all the fields or completed any payment associated with that form.

This page also holds a Toggle Form space from where you can select any form to view its submissions and other details. Added to that, this page offers the Reset All Stats option to reset the submission details of a certain form.

However, this plugin offers more ways for the admin as well as users to check WordPress form submissions from the front end of the site.

Adding Registration Feed to WordPress Forms

In this similar manner, you can also add registration feed to WordPress forms with this plugin. This is also a custom user data field that you can add to your default form during form building. The registration feed on your WordPress form will show you the name of the user, date, and time of a WordPress form submission. This will help you show your users the popularity of a certain form and the number of members so far registered on your site with the help of it.

So you see, in more ways than one, RegistrationMagic makes it quite simple for users and as well site builders to check WordPress form submission. Your users can see the form submission status from the front end. While you can check each WordPress form submission from the site dashboard. In just one page, very conveniently, you will find all the form submission details.

Thus install this one plugin to achieve all-around support. From form designing, publishing, user management to form automation every module is well organized. Besides, the fact that it is user friendly, makes it more popular among new site builders. No need of pro developing skills, with just one form builder plugin, you are ready to create a complete membership site.

The post How to Check WordPress Form Submission in Dashboard appeared first on RegistrationMagic.

RegistrationMagic is built from the ground up for creating and processing registration and login forms on a WordPress site. In addition to that, it offers a front-end private user area, for your site users to view (or edit if allowed), submitted forms, and other related information. But if you wish to take it a step further – to offer your registered users the option to build public or selectively public profiles, interact with fellow users, offer membership with content restrictions, etc. – RegistrationMagic has a free companion plugin, ProfileGrid, that does all this and more. When installed alongside RegistrationMagic, ProfileGrid serves as its dedicated extension, adding an extra dimension to RegistrationMagic’s WordPress User Profiles capabilities. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can do:

 

User Profile Pages

RegistrationMagic publishes a front-end user area using a special shortcode. Also, this is a private area, only accessible to currently logged in user. When you install ProfileGrid, its own user profile pages take over, and RegistrationMagic’s user area is neatly tucked into the private section of ProfileGrid’s beautifully rendered user profile pages. Moreover, all this happens automatically. It means you do not need to modify anything. ProfileGrid simply uses RegistrationMagic’s existing front-end shortcode and turns it into WordPress user profiles. Also, ProfileGrid even gives you the option to show/hide or rename RegistrationMagic’s user area tabs. To do this, just go to ProfileGrid—> Global Settings —> RegistrationMagic Integration

Profile Images

RegistrationMagic fetches user profile images from Gravatar – which is part of the WordPress family of services. But if the user does not have a Gravatar profile, it is replaced by a generic placeholder image. Too many of them and things can start looking a little drab. Moreover, being a user profile plugin first, ProfileGrid allows your users to upload their own profile and cover images. It Is a robust system where you can define upload sizes from the dashboard and set default images for both user profile and cover.

The username assigned during WordPress registration process is difficult to remember since it is system generated and difficult to comprehend. This poses a problem for any user as WordPress as default system prompts only to log in with a username. Instead of the username, a user is much more likely to remember his/her email address. Sensing this issue, popular sites such as Facebook and Twitter already allow users to register and log in with email. Since email addresses are created by users, why not use them as login credentials.

RegistrationMagic introduces a feature to allow WordPress login and registration using email too. After user registers, users will have the choice to log in with their email ID or username. Publishing a page with this plugin’s inbuilt login shortcode creates a form helping users to sign in with an email ID.

With this in mind, in this tutorial, we will discuss how to allow WordPress login and registration using email.

Configuring Login Page using a Login Form

To begin with, go to “All Forms” from the RegistrationMagic plugin on your WordPress dashboard. You will find all your WordPress registration forms in this section. The first form in the queue is the RM login form.

Copy the shortcode from the cover of the Login form. This form is automated to create the login page of your site.

Navigate to “Pages” >> “All Pages”. Click the “Add New” button at the top to create a New Page. You can also click the “Add New” option just below “All Pages” to create a new login page.

You are now on the “Add New Page” section of “All Pages”. Here you can add media files and insert the content of your choice to create the page. Also, assign a unique name to the page you created.

Here, we name the page “Log In”. Now, paste the shortcode copied from the “Login Form” cover to the page. Just by pasting this shortcode, you can create the WordPress form design of your login page.

Publishing Login Form on the frontend

Click “Publish” to generate the link of the page. Your page is now ready for use from the frontend.

Just above the page name, it says “Page Published”. From here, click on “View Page” to have clear visuals of how your login form looks like on your site.

Allow Users to Register and Login with Email

Now that your login page is created, let’s see how we can let the users access the site with their email. Go to the All Forms section of the plugin again and hover your cursor over the RM Login card. You will find a Dashboard and Field link appearing on the bottom corners of it.

The dashboard and field links of the RM login form are different from all other forms that you create through this plugin. Further, click on dashboard and you will find yourself on a page like the one given below.

Click on Fields here. You will land on a page where you will find two fields the Username and Password fields. This is because the login page usually has these two fields only for quick user login.

Now, from here, edit the Username field. You will find options like “Username field accepts“. There, choose the option Username and Email or simply Email if you want. Likewise, change the labels on the “Username field label” and “Username field placeholder”. Click on Save and proceed to see the frontend view.

Success on the Frontend

To illustrate, shared below is an image of the newly formed login page. You can see there is option to log in with the Username or Email. Just the way we mentioned in our placeholder text. This is how you allow WordPress login and registration using email.

So, you saw how quickly we could create and even customize our login page. This might be a very small change, but ultimately creates a massive difference in user experience. Users prefer sites that are easy to access. That’s why, RegistrationMagic also allows users to create intelligent contact forms. Further, Users can autofill contact form fields from information they previously entered in the RegistrationMagic form. Users can also autofill the information from their social media accounts. Users do not have to go through the long process of filling in the form fields. They can simply click on any of their preferred social accounts and start the signup process.

In short, this plugin is your answer to create a complete registration based site with professional registration process and contact forms. No need to code or design pages, just install and get the job done in a few clicks.

Let’s say you are arranging a meeting and you create a registration form on your site to take in members for that meeting. How would you display WordPress member directory for the users that registered to attend the meeting? You would probably collect the list of users who submitted the form and try to display it on one of your pages. That means you’d probably write the list on a page manually one name at a time. How tedious! Also, with manual work comes the chances of errors. So, it is better to take help of a plugin which can solve your problem with a few clicks.

With the RegistrationMagic plugin, this process is pretty much a cakewalk. How? Well, that’s exactly what we are going to see next in this article. But first, you need to install this WordPress registration forms plugin on your site. If you need a quicker route to get there, just download and install one of the many useful Form Templates available for RegistrationMagic.

So, let’s start our discussion on how to display WordPress member directory on the site frontend.

Navigating to the User Directory Publish Option

Go to the “All Forms” screen in the plugin menu on your WordPress dashboard. The form we intend to use in this example is the General Purpose form. Obviously, you can set the name of your form to anything you want.

Then, hover your cursor on the form cover and click on the “Dashboard” link. This is the section that allows you to manage and modify elements of your form. Moreover, this area takes care of your WordPress form design. Next, scroll down to “Publish” and click on “User Directory”.

Now, after clicking on this icon, a pop-up appears with images of some fictitious users as an example. However, this is the way users of your registration form will appear on the frontend. Next, click on “Copy” to copy the shortcode visible on the right side of the screen.

However, there might be instances where you need to display only specific users from the registered list. In that case, just add another parameter to the shortcode, named ‘timerange’. The ‘timerange’ parameter can take in the year, month, week or even today as the value. So only the users who registered within the given ‘timerange’ will display on the frontend. Moreover, one can omit the ‘form_id’ parameter to display registered user directory from all forms. Here, we’ll just stick to our mission of displaying all the users from one particular form.

Publishing Page to Display WordPress member directory

Create a new page from your dashboard “Pages” >> “All Pages” menu. Name the new page as ‘User Directory’. We are going to put the shortcode to display user directory of our form on this page.

Next, paste the shortcode copied earlier from the Publish section of your form Dashboard and click the “Publish” button. Finally, your page is ready for a frontend view. Click the “View Page” from the top of your page beneath the “Edit Page” heading. This will lead you to the frontend view of the page.

You can see below is an image displaying the registered users’ directory of our user registration form. Of course, this example only has dummy users for demo purposes. Therefore, after every WordPress new user registration, this directory will update itself to show new users.

Finally, I hope you got a good idea by now on how to display WordPress member directory in WordPress. It is a fact that a user directory, displays the full potential of a membership site. Your visitors get to see the number of users you host on your site. The more the number of users the more favorable it is for new joiners. So, flaunt your members and attract more users to your site and increase your global reach.
