You can allow website visitors to register — and later edit — themselves, using the shortcode Register/Login
Setting up the registration page
Add the shortcode Register/Login
What visitors see
Once the page is published, a website visitor who isn’t logged in is presented with the following:
This is so the plugin can establish whether to show a registration form or a login form.
Spam protection
There’s basic spam checking built in — a hidden honeypot field that bots fill in and get rejected, and names that look like web addresses or spammy words are rejected too.
Confirmation and admin workflow
- Once someone registers, they receive a confirmation email. The admin also gets a copy, and can edit or delete the entry from there.
- After the visitor clicks the link in their confirmation email, the admin gets a second email, and can then create a user account for them, or edit or delete the entry.
Customising the fields
To hide the gender, custom, and date of birth fields, add an exclude parameter to the shortcode:
Register/Login
Use the shortcode generator in Church Admin → Settings to build this without typing it by hand.
Editing details after logging in
A user who logs in sees a household form, where they can edit the people in their household and the address details.
Premium — letting members opt into ministries and small groups
⭐ Premium
With the Premium Ministries and Small Groups modules active, you can add an allow parameter so logged-in members can opt themselves into ministries and small groups from their own edit form:
Register/Login
These fields only appear when a logged-in user edits their own details — not during initial registration — to keep the sign-up form simple.
