Creating a Custom User Registration Form
Go to the Optin Campaign page and click the Add New button at the top to create an optin form.
Enter a title and select a lightbox optin template or theme to use.
You will then be redirected to the form builder, which has options and the flexibility to customize the optin form to your heart’s content. You can change the headline, description, note, fields, and others to suit your needs. See the screenshot below as an example:
After customizing the form, open the Integration panel. Select WordPress User Registration as the integration and assign the user role. You can also enable Autologin, which automatically logs users into your site after registration.
Click the “Map Custom Fields” button to map any extra fields you added to the form to their corresponding user profile fields.
To get the user registration form to display on your WordPress site, toggle the activate switch ON at the top (close to the “Save Changes” button).
Navigate to the “Display Rules” panel.
If you want the user registration form to be displayed everywhere (all pages) of your WordPress site, also check “Globally load optin” Otherwise, use the page-level targeting and triggers to determine how and where in your site the form will be shown.
Finally, save the changes. Preview your website, and you should see the WordPress registration form displayed. If it doesn’t show up, clear your website and browser cache.
