To actually get the user registration form to display on your site, toggle the activate switch ON at the top (close to “Save Changes” button).

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.
