The Gravity Forms User Registration Add-on is a powerful tool that turns a simple form into a full user signup system. It allows you to automatically create WordPress users, set their roles, and even log them in immediately after submission.

Common Use Cases

• Membership Sites: Allow users to register and pay (via Stripe/PayPal) in a single step.
• Directory Listings: Let users create an account to manage their listing.
• Custom Profiles: Collect specialized data (Job Title, Company) and save it to the user's profile metadata.

Configuration: The "Create User" Feed

To set this up, you create a "User Registration Feed" in your form settings.

1. Action & Role

Choose Create User. Then select the role (usually "Subscriber" or "Customer"). security Warning: Never allow users to register as Administrators.

2. Map User Data

You must map the core WordPress user fields to your form inputs:

• Username: Map to an email address or a specific username field.
• Display Name: Map to "First Name" + "Last Name".
• Email: Map to the email field.
• Password: Map to a Password field (or auto-generate one).

3. Meta Data

You can also map custom fields. For example, if your form asks for "Phone Number," you can map that to the billing_phone meta key for WooCommerce compatibility.

Membership Site Setup

User permissions are sensitive. We can configure the registration feed to ensure new users get the exact role they need without compromising site security.

• Spam Prevention (Included Support): We configure ReCAPTCHA v3 or Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent bot signups.
• Activation Flow (Content Operations): We can set up an "Email Activation" loop where users must verify their email before logging in.
• Payment Gating (Content Operations): We can link this to the Payment Add-ons so the user is unique created after a successful payment.
