How to Find Your Registration Form ID
The shortcode for the Registration Page requires your form's unique ID:
[user_registration_form id="ID"]How you find that ID depends on whether you are using a single form or multiple forms.
If you are using a single registration form:
Go to User Registration & Membership → Registration Forms.
Open your form in the Form Builder.
The shortcode — including the form ID — will appear at the top of the builder.
Copy the shortcode and add it to your Registration page.
Example:
[user_registration_form id="123"]If Multiple Registration Forms are enabled:
Go to User Registration & Membership → Registration Forms.
Each form listed will have its own unique ID.
Use the shortcode with the ID of the specific form you want to display on the page.
Example:
[user_registration_form id="456"]During the Setup Wizard, User Registration & Membership automatically creates all required default pages for your site. If any of these pages are missing, you can recreate them by running the Setup Wizard again from:

The section includes three color settings, each controlled by a color picker.
Primary Color

Make sure the text color contrasts clearly with the button background to keep buttons readable for all users.

Matching this to your site's brand colors helps create a consistent visual experience across your site.
How to Select a Color

Click the color circle next to the setting you want to change.
Use the color picker to visually select your desired color, or enter a hex code directly in the input field (for example: #790a0a).
