Appearance Tab: Registration Form

Overview

The registration form settings in the Appearance tab allow you to customize the appearance and functionality of the user registration form on your website. To access these options, navigate to:  WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Settings > Appearance > Registration Form

Registration Form-Specific Settings Priority

Ultimate Member allows you to configure appearance settings individually for each Registration Form. When settings are defined at the registration form level, they take the highest priority over global registration form appearance settings. This means that if you customize the appearance within a specific registration form, those settings will override the global registration form settings applied site-wide.

You can configure these settings in WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Forms by editing the desired Registration Form and adjusting the appearance options accordingly.

Template

You can add custom registration templates that remain compatible with plugin updates by placing them in a child theme. This allows them to be selectable in the Template dropdown for registration forms. Learn more here:  Adding Your Custom Profile Templates

In the "Template" section, you can set the default template for the registration form, specify the maximum width of the form shortcode, and align the shortcode.
These settings relate to the visual appearance and layout of the user registration form in Ultimate Member:

  1. Registration Default Template: This setting allows you to choose the default template used for the user registration form. Templates control the overall design and structure of the form, such as the arrangement of fields and the styling.
  2. Registration Maximum Width: Specifies the maximum width that the registration form shortcode can occupy on the page. This helps to ensure that the form is displayed correctly and is not overly wide, especially on devices with smaller screens. The default maximum width is 450px.
  3. Registration Shortcode Alignment: Determines the alignment of the registration form shortcode within its container on the page. For example, setting it to "Centered" will align the form in the centre of the container. Alternatively, you can also choose a left or right alignment. This can be useful for ensuring the form is visually balanced with other elements on the page.

Buttons & Fields

This section of the settings in Ultimate Member lets you customize the appearance and functionality of the buttons and fields in the user registration form:

  1. Registration Primary Button Text: This setting allows you to specify the text that appears on the primary button of the registration form, typically used for actions like submitting the form with the registration information. The default text is "Register."
  2. Registration Secondary Button: This setting lets you control whether a secondary button is displayed on the registration form. This button can be used for additional actions, such as logging in if the user already has an account.
    1. Registration Secondary Button Text: If the secondary button is enabled, this setting allows you to specify the text that appears on the secondary button, such as "Login."
    2. Registration Secondary Button URL: If the secondary button is enabled, you can customize the URL that the button links to, allowing you to redirect users to a specific page when they click the button.
  3. Registration Field Icons: This setting controls the display of icons next to the fields in the registration form. You can choose to show the icons with the following options which can help users understand the purpose of each field.:
    1. Show with label: Icons are displayed alongside the field labels, providing a visual cue next to each field description.
    2. Show inside text field: Icons are placed inside the text fields themselves, usually as placeholder text or background icons.
    3. Turn off: Icons are not displayed next to the fields, providing a more streamlined form layout without visual cues.
