Shortcodes
The shortcode for the ProfileGrid multi-page registration form is shown below:
|
[profilegrid_register type=”paged” 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 multi page registration form shortcode on a new page. From the Pages section of your WordPress dashboard, create a new page.
Paste he shortcode and replace the group ID from “x” to “3”. This ensures that the form for Group 3 will appear as a multi-page registration form in WordPress. Click “Publish” and check the result on the frontend.
The image above shows the first page of a 3-page registration form, with a ‘Next’ link guiding users to the next section. This demonstrates how to display a multi-page registration form in WordPress using shortcodes.
For membership sites that require extensive user data, this feature is valuable. The shortcode divides lengthy forms into separate, well-organized pages, ensuring a clean and user-friendly layout.
Creating Default Registration Page
Next, if you want this form to be your default registration form, you can follow this simple step. From the Global Settings page under the ProfileGrid dashboard menu, click the General option.
From here, in the Default WP Registration Page space, select the new registration page.
Then click on ‘Save’. This allows you to set your multi page form as the default WordPress registration form.
