The eMember Form Builder Addon allows you to create registration and edit profile forms with custom fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP eMember has a feature that allows you to control which fields appear on your membership registration form. It also lets you add your own custom fields to the registration form. The form fields customization documentation<\/a> has details of this core plugin feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we have found that a few businesses out there need more flexibility in terms of customizing the form fields of the membership registration form. This addon was created to solve that issue. It allows you to create registration form(s) with whatever custom fields you require using a drag and drop system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also create fields that are “ReadOnly” so your members can only see the content of the field but can’t edit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an option to create “Hidden” fields too. Hidden fields are not visible to the members (only admins can see the content of the hidden fields).<\/p>\n\n\n

    You can create a custom form for each of your levels. However, you should create a “Generic<\/strong>” form first that way if you don’t have a custom form for a specific level, it will use the generic one for that level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After you hit the “Create Form<\/strong>” button, you will be in the form customization interface where you will be able to visually add or remove fields for the registration and edit profile forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
