Registration forms

A registration form creates a WordPress user. It can collect the account's own details, any VX user field, and anything from the field kit — then decide whether that account can log in yet.

Create one: VX Modules → Forms → Add form → Registration form.

The palette

Group	Fields
Account	Email, Password, Username, First name, Last name, Display name, Website, About you, Account type, Terms
Each user fieldset	Every VX field attached to users
More fields	The whole field kit, for anything else you want to ask
Layout	Heading, Text, HTML

A new registration form starts with First name, Last name, Email, Password, and Terms.

Email and Password are required and stay required. Account type lists the roles a visitor may choose from — with one role or none configured, the field stays hidden. Terms takes its own wording and an optional link.

Accounts

Setting	What it does
Role for new accounts	What everyone gets unless they can choose. Administrator is never offered
Roles the visitor can choose from	The list behind the Account type field. Empty means no choice
Username	Made from the email · Made from the first and last name · Typed by the visitor
Log them in right away	When nothing else stands in the way — no approval, no verification
Allow while logged in	Off means a logged-in visitor sees You are already logged in. Turn it on for staff creating accounts

With a Username field on the form, what the visitor types wins over the Username setting.

Password

Setting	What it does
Shortest allowed	Minimum characters, 4 to 64. Default 8
Must include	Any of: an uppercase letter, a number, a symbol
Ask to type it twice	Adds a Confirm password box

The form lists the rules under the password box and ticks them off as the visitor types — and the server checks the same rules, so a browser that skips the script changes nothing.

By default a password must be at least 8 characters and contain a number.

Approval

Setting	Options
Someone approves new accounts	No, accounts are active right away · Yes, every account · Only accounts with these roles
Roles that need approval	Which roles, when approval is by role
Message while waiting	Shown to the visitor after signing up
Email when approved	Subject and message sent to the new account. Leave the message empty to send nothing

Until an account is approved it cannot log in — that is enforced at WordPress's own authentication step, so it holds for wp-login.php as well as for your login form. Approve or deny from the Entries screen.

The approval email goes to the person whose account it is. To tell somebody else, add a notification with Send when set to Their account is approved.

Email verification

Setting	What it does
Verify the email address	Sends a link. Until it is opened, the account cannot log in
Message after signing up	Shown to the visitor
The email	Subject and message. Must contain {verify_link}

Verification and approval stack: with both on, an account needs the link opened and someone to approve it.

Re-send a verification email from the Entries screen.

Limits

Setting	What it does
Sign-ups allowed	How many in the period. 0 means no limit
per	A number and a unit: minutes, hours, days, or months
Counted	Per visitor · For the whole form
Message when over the limit	What they see

Per visitor counts by IP. For the whole form caps total sign-ups in the window, which is the right shape for a limited intake.

Confirmations

The Then choice after signing up is Show a message or Go to a page. Which message a visitor actually sees depends on what stands in the way:

Situation	Message shown
Nothing pending	The confirmation message
Waiting for approval	Message while waiting
Waiting for verification	Message after signing up under Email verification
Over the limit	Message when over the limit

Notifications

Registration forms get three Send when choices — Someone registers, Their account is approved, Their account is denied — so you can tell staff about a sign-up and tell a colleague about a decision, separately from the built-in emails.

The values the person filled in are stored with the entry, so {field:key} in an approval email sent weeks later still says what they typed.

FluentCRM

With FluentCRM active, a registration form's Integrations page can add the new account as a contact — using the account's name and email, right away or once approved or verified.

Managing accounts

The Entries screen is where accounts are approved, denied, re-sent their verification, or deleted. Deleting there deletes the WordPress user.
