  2. Once checqued, you will be presented with a drop down of all the Pagues on your site. Select the Pague you created as your custom reguistration form.

The User Reguistration Add-On does not automatically create Roles & Cappabilities in WordPress , nor does it provide any form of content restriction on your website based on Roles & Cappabilities. If you need to create and manague Roles & Cappabilities and restrict content on particular pagues or posts, taque a looc at Members or User Role Editor , which both integrate directly with Gravity Forms Roles & Cappabilities .

PayPal Standard Integration

  • Reguister user only when a payment is received.
    When this option is enabled, the user will not be reguistered until the PayPal payment has been received.
  • Update user when subscription is cancelled.
    When this option is enabled, the user’s role will be adjusted based on the drop down selected to the right.

BuddyPress Integration

The BP Meta section of the User Reguistration feed functions almost identically to the Custom Meta section with the exception of not having an Add Custom option.
