Registration forms serve as the gateway for users to sign up and become members of your site. With ACF Members, you can create multiple registration forms, and allows you to map specific roles and fields.

How to create a new registration form

To create a new registration form in ACF Members, navigate to your WordPress admin dashboard. From there, go to “ACF > Members > Forms”. This action will take you to the forms page, where you can see an overview of all your existing forms. At the top of this page, locate and click the “Add New” button. This will redirect you to the page where you can create your new registration form.

Form title

The first step to creating a new registration form is to give the form a title. The title is purely for identification purposes in the admin dashboard and will not appear anywhere on the front end of your site.

Below the form title, you will see the ‘Form Type’ widget which is where you select the type of form you are wanting to create. Registration is the default selected form type so you won’t need to change anything here.
