Creating WordPress Users from Submissions (PRO)

User Registration creates a standard WordPress user after a successful form submission. It is useful for membership requests, course signups, partner portals, private communities, and any flow where the visitor should receive a WordPress account without manually contacting an admin.

How to Set Up User Registration

1. Open the form in the builder.
2. Add at least one Email field. Add a name/text field if you want the user display name to be mapped from the submission.
3. In the form settings stack, open User Registration.
4. Enable Create a WordPress user after successful submission.
5. Choose the Email Field, optional Name Field, and User Role.
6. Save the form.

On submission, Form Forge uses the mapped email field first. If the email already exists, it does not create a duplicate user. New users receive the standard WordPress new-user notification email with login details, and the original form submission is still saved normally.

> Good to know: User Registration is PRO-gated. If PRO is not active, the setting is locked and saved forms cannot silently create users.
