Forminator Widget Issue: When using the Elementor editor click on Elements and then navigate to the WordPress dropdown. Click on this and the Forminator widget can be found here. Alternatively, you can type Shortcode in the search bar in the Elements section and use the Shortcode widget to add your Form shortcode.

Hi, I created the registration form and linked to website. I have the requirements to put first and last name, email and password. However when I sign up it says 'username can't be empty'. I don't have a username option displayed. Why is it saying that? I actually removed the username option but didn't mark it as not required. Maybe by default it's still required. So I clicked on 'insert fields' to add the username option so I could mark as not required, but the username isn't listed. Help lol

[@rayyanghazi617]

hey man, awesome video but just one part isnt working and I've tried literally everthing, the forminator widget is not showing up in the sidebar of all the widgets so im not able to drag it into the website, if you know how to fix that, it would be appreciated

hey my page is having trouble rendering emails and passwords? anyone know how to help me ? also how do you setup lost passwords. can this plugin help me setup orderhistory etc?

Great guide, especially useful that this widget automatically can validate new registered user. Does this widget allow to restrict access to chosen pages, posts/blog? If yes, which settings is it ?

Amazing tool and amazing video, great job ! Is there anyway to use forminator to get back from the db something we entered ? For instance if I enter a name and an address, what can I use to display that on the website ?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 Glad you love Forminator. Forminator can't do this at the moment but we are working on an integration with wpDataTables where you will be able to show form, quiz, and poll submissions on the front end in a chart. You will be able to filter exactly what fields are shown this way too. That should be released pretty soon so I hope that helps. If you are looking for something different let us know and we can make a suggestion to the team. 😃

[@aashdude1]

@@wpmudev-wordpress Hi, is this integration done? Thanks

[@farhatg1]

Thank you so much amazing! I have a question, If I already have a database of names and emails and I would like to send them an email to notify them that they have access to the login page without them having to go again through the registration... Will I be able to do this on formulator? thx

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 🙂 This can't be done in Forminator currently, you could use this plugin wordpress.org/plugins/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/ which would help you import your current list and there is an email notification section to send them an email to notify them. I hope that helps

Hello ! Thank you for your tutorial ! Is it possible for the new members to publish articles ? (giving them rights) Thank you so much, have an amazing day !

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 Thanks for your comment. Yes Forminator does have the option to assign a role to a member when they register which you can choose in the registration form settings in the User Registration section under User Role. If you install this plugin wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ you can create a new user role and choose what they have access to on the backend of your website. I hope that helps 🙂

[@sauron101]

Great video, I love the plugin, free features are great and I am going to purchase it for sure because I see it has many features more, I need to drill more. But tell me something... as son as I installed the plugin and used Login/Signin forms I was not able to logout from My account (using woocommerce), button for logout or quit just did not work. Is there documentation about that in your knowledge base?

[@sauron101]

I solved this with an answer that you have down below 5 months ago.... "Hey 👋 thanks. You can create a logout link/button in the navigation menu and point that to the WP logout URL and then use a redirect for the user when they logout to be sent a page that you have created." Many thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can i use Forminator to allow employees to register and login and then only the store will be visible? Its not a public site, its a wordpress site just for employees only to purchase Aparel

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

You can use Forminator to create the registration and login part. You would then need to use something like content control wordpress.org/plugins/content-control/ to restrict access to this site unless a user is logged in. I hope that helps 🙂

[@3bdo_ds32]

forminator dashboard doesn't want to be opened showing error sir

[@dadich1998]

Would it be possible to create a landing page and hide the original content and only let registered users access it? So when you open the page and you are not logged in it just displays the register / login on the landing page and once you log in you can access the page normally?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 Yes you can do this by using these two great plugins alongside Forminator. Content Control wordpress.org/plugins/content-control/ which you can select which user roles see what pages, posts, etc when logged in. User Role editor wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ if you want to create a new type of role for members. We will be creating a video on building a membership style website with just these plugins in the near future that will show you how they work together. I hope that helps.😀

[@santhiyasandy7094]

Each course each login page is available ? Like one course students not show the other courses please reply me

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 you should be able to do this by adding the plugins wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ and wordpress.org/plugins/content-control/. If you create a new user role for each course and then use content control to hide the other course pages from that user role. You would need to set up the Forminator registration form with an additional select field where the user can select the course and then use the 'assign role conditionally' setting in the User Registration tab to then assign the user role based on what they choose from the select field. This might be something we cover in a future video 🙂

[@timnorman01]

Another question - can it be set up for someone to request to register? With me giving approval

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Yeah you can do that by going to the registration form settings then to user registration. Under the user activation account settings you have multiple options, one of these is manual approval which is where a site admin will have to approve each registration. 😀

How do I get the sign up page (for example, for a jobs board) to go from jobseeker and employer sign up to the fill in their details page?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey, thanks for the question. You can use the page break field on a registration form to then make it a multi-step form. You can then collect the user's details first using the relevant fields and put the signup fields as the last step/page. I hope that helps 🙂

[@bharathkrishna7545]

This is really an awesome video. Thank you so much. But I have one doubt, how to provide "Logout" option once some login?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 thanks for your comment and question. This can't be done within the plugin itself but what you can do is create a logout item in your website menu and point it to the default WordPress Logout URL. So when the user clicks the logout link/button in the menu they will be logged out and then you can use a redirect to direct them to whatever page you want them to be logged out to. I hope that helps 🙂
