You can use the default registration form from WordPress which comes with limited fields and functionalities. And you’re right it’s boring!

That is why we’re going to create a custom registration form for our website with greater power and advanced features. 


2. Install and Activate the User Registration Plugin

To build a custom registration form with amazing features and potential, User Registration is the best plugin in the business.

It’s a beginner-friendly tool that supports a drag-and-drop feature to add fields to your WordPress website.

For now, let’s look at the setup process. Simply press the Get Started button to start.

You’ll arrive at the Install Pages step first. The plugin automatically installs the in-built Default Registration Form on your website.

Once you hit the Install & Proceed button, the Registration Page and My Account Page will be installed as well.

Install Pages for User Registration WordPress

You can find the pages in the Pages tab of your dashboard. This means you won’t need to create a user profile page and registration page from scratch; you can use these sample pages instead.

After the installation is complete, click on Next to go to the General options.

As you can see, the Anyone can register option is enabled by default. Keep this on to enable user registration for frontend forms you’ll create using User Registration.

General Settings for User Registration

Once you’re done with the General options, click Next. Likewise, configure the remaining settings for Registration, Login, and My Account to move on to the Final Step.

Set Up User Registration Page

You can either go to the dashboard, edit the default form, or create a new form. We’ll learn how to create a new form in the following step.


3. Create a New Custom Registration Form

You’re now fully equipped to create a new custom user registration form. Go to User Registration >> Add New from your WordPress dashboard.

User Registration to Add New

Here, you can choose among pre-built form templates and customize them on your own. Or, you can simply build one from scratch.

Start from Scratch

For this tutorial, let’s go with the Start From Scratch option. You are then asked to give your form a name.

Enter the name you want to assign to your form and press Continue. Don’t worry. You can change your form’s name in the future.

After that, you’re taken to the form builder that looks like this:

Form Builder User Registration WordPress

As you can see, all the available Fields, their Field Options, and the Form Setting are neatly placed on the left.

While on the right, you’ll find the actual form with four fields: User Name, User Email, User Password, and Confirm Password.

Now, all you have to do is drag any additional fields you need from the left and drop them on your form.

Drag and Drop for User Registration WordPress

In the free version, you can choose from the Default User Fields and Extra Fields.

If you need more fields like Advanced Fields, WooCommerce Fields, and Payment Fields you’ll have to buy the plugin’s premium version.

After adding the required fields, it’s time to customize them. Simply click on the field you want to edit, and its Field Options will open up on the left. 

General Settings User Registration WordPress

You’ll notice that the options are categorized into General and Advanced as you scroll down. From General Settings, you can change the field Label, Description, Placeholder, and so on. 

Likewise, the Advanced Settings lets you add custom CSS to the field. Depending on the field, you’ll get more options, such as Limit Username Length for the Username field.

Advanced Form Settings in User Registration

Continue editing all the fields and hit Update Form at the top of the form builder.

After you’ve completed customizing your registration form completely, you can click on the Update form button as you did before.

And with that, the registration form is ready to be displayed on your website.


5. Place the Registration Form on Your Site

As we mentioned in the very beginning, just enabling user registration in WordPress is not enough.

It’s also essential to have the registration form ready on the front end of your website to let users register themselves through the form.

We’ve already created the custom registration form in the previous steps. All that’s left to do is display the form on your website.

Simply open a page or post you want to display the form in, and you’ll be taken to the block editor. Here, click on the block inserter (+) and add a User Registration block. 

Block of User Registration WordPress

Then, select the Registration Form radio button and choose the registration form you just created from the dropdown. 

Select Form User Registration Block

Finally, press Update on the top of the editor to save the form. You can even preview what the form looks like with the Preview button or just save your progress by pressing the Save Draft button.

After updating, the page or post will display the registration form in the front end, through which users will be able to register.

User Registration Form Frontend

Alternatively, you can add a shortcode block to the page or post instead of the User Registration block. First, copy your form’s shortcode from the User Registration’s All Forms Tab.

You can use the Copy button to get the shortcode with just a click.

User Registration Shortcode All Forms

Next, open the page or post where you wish to add your form. There, from the block inserter (+), select Shortcode block.

Add Shortcode Block User Registration

Then, paste the copied shortcode on the block and you’re done!

Paste Shortcode

Either of the processes will display your registration form on your website.


Wrapping Up!

In conclusion, enabling the option for users to register themselves is important since the admin alone can’t create all the users themselves.

With the default membership feature of WordPress and User Registration’s expertise, you can get yourself a highly systematic and feature-rich registration form. 

The plugin also lets you prevent core login and replace the default login form with a custom login form. Moreover, you can also enable strong passwords and turn on admin approval in registration forms.

And if you own a WooCommerce store, User Registration is fully equipped to create custom WooCommerce registration forms. So, give this plugin a try and take your website to a whole new level.

There are many options in WordPress which provide far more features than Google Forms. For example, Everest Forms in WordPress also helps you create forms within minutes. And it has conditional logic, integration with email marketing services like MailChimp, payment options like PayPal, live customizer, and much more. 

So why not use WordPress form builders instead of Google Forms?

Well, to begin with, Google Forms helps you launch your form into different websites and collect responses in a single spot. It can be easily shared and the responses are saved in Google drive. It’s also very easy to collaborate with others while managing forms and responses. 

It’s true that WordPress form builders are great when you want a professional-looking form on your website that can do almost anything. But if you quickly want to create a simple and easily shareable form for surveys and similar stuff, Google Forms is still a very strong option.


How to Embed Google Form in WordPress?

Now for the tutorial, we’ll look at how to embed Google form in WordPress using the simplest and easiest method. Let’s get started.

Step-1: Creating a Google Form

To add a Google form to your WordPress website, firstly you need to create a Google form. And to create a form, head over to the Google Forms dashboard (forms.google.com). This is where you’ll start creating a Google form. 

In the Google Forms window, you’ll see an option to create a form from scratch using the Plus (+) button. 

Plus Button Google Forms

Or, you can select from over 20 templates by clicking on the Template gallery button located at the top right.

For now, let’s go with a template named Contact Information

You can see that the required fields are already put in place. And on the right side of the fields, you can see a vertical bar of options. Using these options, you can add different types of questions, fields, import questions, and even add images and videos.

Features on Google Forms

Using the eye button, you can preview how your form looks. And through the cogwheel icon, you can change the settings of your form. Using this option, you can choose to limit one response per Google account, collect emails, shuffle question orders, and more. 

We have now created a Google form and quickly gone over the features and options we can try out. Now, it’s time for the next step. 


Step-2: Getting the Embed Code of Our Google Form

Now, we’re going to embed our Google form into our website. So, click on the Send button on the right side of the top bar. 

Send Button Google Forms

When you click on the Send button, you should see that a Google form can be sent using three different methods: using email, link, or embed code.

It’s true that the best WordPress form builders like Everest Forms, User Registration, are getting more powerful and rising as strong competitors to Google Forms.

If you want to know about how to create a job application form in WordPress using Everest Forms then here’s the detailed process. Everest Forms allows you to create an employment application form using two methods which are explained as given below:

I. Creating a WordPress Job Application Form with a Pre-built Template

Pro version of Everest Forms provides you with access to several pre-built form templates. You can use those templates immediately for creating any kind of form.

Pre-built templates not just only save your precious time but also save your energy. Because you don’t have to spend time creating a form from scratch or from the blank form.

II. Creating a WordPress Job Application Form from Scratch

Creating a WordPress job application form from scratch is a little bit different from creating a form from the pre-built template. It needs a little bit of extra effort from your side since you need to add fields on your own.

You need to create an outline on your own for your application form.  However, you can add any questions of your choice for collecting information from candidates that you want to know. And get the best fit for your company or business.

For this, after finishing the installation and activation of your free Everest Forms plugin. Navigate to the Everest Forms tab on your sidebar of the WordPress website. Click on the “Add New” button and it’ll direct you to the “Add New Form” page with several templates including “Start from Scratch”.

Start from Scratch

Simply click on it and start your job application making journey by giving a title to your form in the title field and hitting the continue button.


Step 3. Add Required Fields and Customize the Form

Customizing every component of the form is easy with the drag and drop interface of Everest Forms. You can simply drag the field that you need and drop it to the required area of your form. Clicking on the field will show you more form field setting options. And you can customize your field as per your convenience.

With Everest Forms, you can add various fields to create a completely customized job application form. There’re two major form fields:

  • General Fields
  • Advanced Fields

I. General Fields

Besides common general fields like First Name, Last Name, Number to add contact details, and Email for adding an email address. There’re many other fields that you might consider adding to your application.

  • Single Line Text Field lets you acquire one-line text information from the applicants as per your need.
  • Paragraph Text Field lets you obtain information from the applicants in a paragraph form. Usually, this field is useful if you want to get some long-form information from the applicants.
  • Dropdown lets you add multiple options from which applicants can select any one of the options.
  • Multiple choice lets you add multiple choices from which applicants can choose any one of the options.
  • Checkboxes let you add multiple choices displayed using checkboxes. Applicants can select more than one option in this case.
General Fields

II. Advanced Fields

  • Website/URL lets your applicants add their personal or company’s site URL.
  • Date/ Time lets your applicants add the requested date and time on the form.

Apart from these two, with Everest Forms Pro you get access to the following additional fields:

  • Image Upload Field lets your applicant upload images in the form of multiple formats like jpg, png, gif, BMP, etc. Besides, you can also configure additional settings like the maximum file size of the image uploads; maximum number limit of file uploads, and so on.
  • File Upload Field allows applicants to upload the files. You can easily change the label so that the applicants aren’t confused about where to upload their resumes and other files. Besides, you can also make additional changes to it.

For instance, you can configure settings for allowed file extensions (pdf, docs), maximum file size, and the maximum number of limits on uploads as for the images. Further, Everest Forms Pro version 1.3.7 or higher permits saving the uploaded files to Google Drive and Dropbox. Isn’t that great?

Moreover, there’re Hidden Field, Phone, Password, Custom HTML, and many other fields that you can utilize for your application form.

Advanced Fields

With these numerous field options, you can easily make a completely customized job application form for your site. For instance each job application requires a Name field, Email, Phone, and so on. You can simply drag a First Name field from the left panel and drop it to the right panel.

Drag and Drop Name Field

Similarly, drag and drop the Last Name field beside the First Name Field. Next, you can continue with the Email field. Below the Email, you can ask to enter the phone number using the Number field. 

Likewise, you can ask for other desired questionnaires using Single Line Text, Multiple Choice, and other available options. You can make use of the Image or File Upload field if you want to fetch your applicants’ images, resumes, and other files.

Enabling Conditional Logic

Everest Forms offers a feature of conditional logic. So you can create a form that isn’t too lengthy or complex to be filled up by the applicants without missing any essential information. This allows you to proceed with additional related questionnaires only if the applicants have a positive response to the particular field.

For instance, let’s just say that you want to know if the applicant has worked before. If the answer is yes then you might further want to ask the reason for leaving the previous job.

To enable conditional logic add a Multiple Choice field to the desired area of your form. Click on it to make edits. Label it (“Have you worked before?”) and add the required choices (Yes and No).

Adding Multiple Choice Field

Then add a Single Line Text field just below it. Click on it to make edits. Label it (“Reason for leaving the job”). After that scroll down and enable conditional logic.

Adding Single Line text

Finally, click on Show this field if “Have you worked before?” is “Yes” and save it. Now, whenever the applicants select the “Yes” option for the question. It’ll display the additional field “Reason for leaving the job”. It won’t be displayed if the answer is “No”.

Conditional Logic

Step 4. Configure Form Settings

You can navigate to Settings >> General to configure the general settings for your application form. Under the general setting, you can make changes as mentioned below.

General Settings
  • Form Name lets you give a suitable name to your form.
  • With Form Description, you can further add a brief description of the motive of your form.
  • Form Disable Message lets you display the message once you disable the form.
  • Successful Form Submission Message displays text to the applicants once you receive the form successfully.
  • Redirect To option allows applicants to land to the URL of your choice after they submit their form.  There are 3 Redirect To options available:
    1. Same Page – This page is selected by default. Here, the applicants remain on the same page once they submit the form.
    2. Custom Page – If you select a Custom Page, then all your pages will be listed. You can choose any one of the pages from the dropdown you wish your applicants to land on.
    3. External URL – In case if you select External URL, then you need to add an external URL where you wish your applicants to be redirected.
Redirect To Options
  • Layout Design lets you choose from pre-made form designs. You can either select from Default Layout or Classic Layout.
  • Form Class lets you add a class for your form.
  • Submit Button Text allows setting the text for submit buttons such as “Send” or “Submit” or “Apply”. You can set the text as your wish to suit your form.
  • Submit Button Processing Text lets you display text in the button while the form is being processed.
  • Submit Button Class allows adding CSS class names for the submit button.
Save General Settings

Further with pro-version, you can enable conditional logic for the submit button. Enabling anti-spam honeypot prevents spam on your forms. You can also enable Google reCAPTCHA Version (V2 OR V3) to avoid spam on your form and for user validation.

To disable saving entries to your database, you can enable Disable Storing Entry Information. After configuring settings to suit your form you can hit the “SAVE” button at the top.

Admin Email Notification
  • To Address lets you add an email address where you wish the email notification to be conveyed after the applicants fill their form. Here you can add the admin email address.
  • From Name lets you add the name that you wish to be displayed when sending the form. Here, since the admin is getting the email notification so you can get the name of the applicants who submit the form using smart tags.

Also, it’s important to ensure that the name field is marked as required in the form. Because if this field is empty then it might create a problem during mail delivery.

  • From Address lets you add the email address form where the forms are sent. So you can use your admin email address here.
  • Reply To lets you add the email address where you want the email to be replied to whenever the email receiver wants to reply. Here you can set the email address of applicants who submitted the form. You can use smart tags to automatically get the applicant’s address.
  • Email Subject allows adding the subject of the email.
  • Email Message allows adding a message that you want to send along with your form.

Additionally, with {all­_fields} smart tag you can exhibit the form fields filled up by the applicants.

II. User Email Notification Setup

User Email Notification allows you to set the notification for the user (applicants) who submits the form. Sending a confirmation email is a great way to let them know that you’ve received their form.

For this go to Settings >> Email and click on the “Add New Email” button and give it a name to get started. Here, we’ll name it “User Notification”. Finally, configure the following details:

User Notification
  • For the To Address, you can use the smart tag to get the email address of the applicant who submitted the form.
  • In the From Name add your business or company’s site name.
  • For the From Address add your admin email address.
  • In the Reply To add your admin email.

You can also add the Email Subject and Email Message as before.
