Hi @mtarantjr,
This is not the addon feature, this should be enabled in wpForo > Settings > Login & registration admin page. You should disable the "Enable User registration email confirmation" option, this will automatically make the registration one step with password fields without sending email for resetting the password.
The doc:
We released wpForo 1.7.5 version, then 1.7.6 and 1.7.7 bug fix version. Some important bugs are fixed.
Important update notes
If you use wpForo User Custom fields addon, please update to just released version
Some JS and CSS files are changed, please refresh (press Ctrl+F5) on forum front-end twice to reset browser cache, otherwise you'll see crashed design.
If you have a Cache or Minifier/Optimizer plugins please delete all caches after wpForo update.
If you use CDN and found some issue please purge it.
Forum template files are modified. The modifications were made in layout files to add "jump to unread post" functionality. Also, the header.php is modified and added User Notification Bell in the menu bar section. If you have an old customized copies of forum template files in your WP theme /wpforo/ folder please update those.

Hi Will @webmasterstinsonclub-org,
(1) Stand alone Forums, like PHPBB, has its own User Tables, with specific User IDs, specific topic IDs that they created, and Attachment or Media file IDs.
wpForo uses the WP User Tables, and the simplicity of WP is its Username, and the email attached to this user name.
Here's an example: We can look at it like how MS Word might handle a Mail Merge.
There are "labels" for field names like: (1) First Name, (2) Last Name, (3) Street 1 Address, (4) Street 2 Address, (5) City, (6) State, (7) Zip Code, and (8) Country, in that order. Resulting to 8 labels corresponding to these fields.
If we will use another software that has labels and field names like: (1) Last Name, (2) First Name, (3) Country, in that order, the resulting merge would not be satisfactory, since only three labels and fields will get migrated (or mail merged), with the labels and fields (1) and (2) cris-crossed.
You need to find a way to make sure that the "labels" and "fields" from point A matches or properly "mapped" to the "labels" and "fields" in point B.
(2) I don't know how big your forum is, or how big your backed up database is, but what I can suggest is for you to save a copy of your PHP database in excel in csv format, and then take note of the specific "fields" from your PHPBB title rows.
Then also export a copy of your wpForo database, and then also take note of the specific fields that it has. Then you will be able to see which field maps to where, before you do the "mail merge" - that's the closest example I can think of when it comes to explaining migrations. 🙂
Sofy explained it in this post too:
(3) That might be problematic - for existing usernames, it will be overwritten, and it will be the same principle as the "mail merge" analogy above. If the fields do not map out exactly, from the "source" to the "target location" fields, it will just corrupt your database with "not synced" data.
(4) It most probably would override passwords, plus issues on (3) .
What you might consider is doing a "data cleanup", or you can hire a developer as well, I think the wpForo Support Team recommends some Tech Teams who handle migrations, too.
Here's one:
I hope this helps somehow point you to the direction you need to go for your Forum. I'm just a member here who try to help when I can. Good luck and God bless you!
Hello,
when a new user registers on my forum a "registration confirmation/set password" link is sent to his email address which points to the standard WP "set password" page, plus a link to the WPF login page is provided (image 1) which is both not what I want.
What I want to have is a link to the WPF "set password" page not exposing any WP details to the forum users (image 2: email, image 3: set password page).
Interesting enough the expected behaviour is shown while registering to the wpForo Addons forum, while registering to the wpForo Support Forum behaves like in my installation (image 4).
My question is now a simple one: how can I turn the registration link generation/behaviour on my forum from the one as in the WPF Support Forum to the behaviour as in the WPF Addons forum?
Additionally: how can I get WPF to use my custom email templates set in Settings/EMails?
(I have done all this yet:
Navigate to Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Login & registration and Enable the following options:
Replace registration Page URL to Forum registration Page URL
Replace Login Page URL to Forum Login Page URL
Replace Reset Password Page URL to Forum Reset Password Page URL
And also make sure that the fields of the following options are empty:
Custom Authorization URLs fields
Custom Redirection URLs after following actions fields
Deactivated all plugins that could be disturbing
Exchanged the WP Theme
Activated these Email options:
Overwrite WordPress New User registration Email for Admins
Overwrite WordPress New User registration Email for Users
Overwrite WordPress Reset Password Emails
)
Thanks a lot
Roland

I have done this successfully.
I installed the MailChimp for WordPress plugin along with the mentioned MailChimp Sync extension. After setting up both of these plugins and successfully syncing my WordPress site with my MailChimp account, I still had initial errors with a sync problem because the MailChimp for WordPress Sync plugin did not recognize the fields used by WpForo for their registration fields, and the information was being rejected by MailChimp. Conveniently, the MailChimp for WordPress plugin has a nice visible error log on the "other" tab and it shows exactly where the breakdown was occurring.
The base WPForo registration form did not have any way to add the first and last name to match what MailChimp lists look for to sync.
I purchased the Custom User fields add0n for WPForo, set up a first name custom field using the label "FNAME" and the last name field using the label "LNAME" to match what MailChimp looks for. Then I went into the MailChimp for WordPress control panel and under the "MailChimp User Sync" tab I mapped the first and last name fields under "send additional fields".
Now, anytime a registration is processed through the WPForo registration page, it shows up on my MailChimp list moments later. to address the concerns raised by VO- the Mailchimp sync plugin is GDPR compliant and has lots of options to add double opt-in and notifications; so while you can do this "secretly" if you so choose, it is very easy to make certain no one is signed up without their permission.
Hope this helps someone.

For Adding and managing user fields I recommend wpForo Users Custom fields addon:
@currentsamuel,
...if I should get wpforo pro plugin, does the pro version of wpforo plugin have all the adons, such the user custom fields and others?
Please note the wpForo is a free WordPress plugin, it doesn't have a Pro version and it'll always be free. We also develop paid addons (separate plugins) for wpForo, they add some extra functions and features to your forum. One of them wpForo – User Custom fields add-on as I already mentioned in the post above. The add-on allows you customize User registration fields, Account fields, Profile fields, and Member Search fields based on your created custom user fields:
Thank you @vul3yji3,
We're using official sources to add the county names.
I'm really sorry, but we keep stay away from politics.
There is the following hook you can use to change it whatever you like.
wpforo_member_after_init_fields
If you're a developer you can use this hook to change it.
I also suggest you check the "wpForo Users Custom fields" addon created by gVectors team. It allows customizing User Account fields, Profile fields, registration fields, and Member Search fields based on your created custom user fields:
More info here:
Hi @alber_97,
Hello, my idea is show an image in each profile, like a "badge".
I'll suggest you check the wpForo – User Custom fields add-on. The add-on allows you create custom registration form with custom fields, add custom fields in User Profile system and in Members Search form. More info here:
And that the others users can see it when they comment.
Also please check this support topic to make the custom field visible for users in the post page:
@rik,
Your login and registration pages are not the wpForo login and registration pages, just disable wpForo recaptcha and forget about all issues. Why are you putting the reCAPTCHA v3 keys to wpForo reCAPTCHA fields? It's not necessary, just disable all reCAPTCHA options in wpForo settings, you don't need them.
If the forum login/registration pages are still available in your website then disable them and change them to your custom pages:
1. Go to wpForo > Login & registration admin page and disable all these options:
Replace registration Page URL to Forum registration Page URL
Replace Login Page URL to Forum Login Page URL
Replace Reset Password Page URL to Forum Reset Password Page URL
2. Set your login/register and reset pass page URLs in the Custom Authorization URLs fields below that option. So when people click forum login or registration menu they'll be redirected to your custom login/registration pages, the doc:
Hi @steveh92.
Here's the documentation that explains the user registration flow:
"User registrationEnable User registrationThis option is not synced with WordPress “Anyone can register” option in Dashboard > Settings > General admin page. If this option is enabled new users will always be able to register. If this option is disabled the default WordPress User registration form will still be available. But wpForo Register Menu and Register Page will be hidden.
Enable User registration email confirmationThis option switches wpForo user registration function to WordPress Email confirmation mode. Users only enter Username and Email on registration form. After clicking on submit button they receive Email with Password Generation link. Using this link users set a password thus confirm and finish registration process."
Hope that helps. Good luck and God bless you. 🙂
Hi,
I'm using WP foro on a website built with Elementor page builder.
I've purchased the user fields add on and created a registration form which I would like to display inside a pop up across the site, which currently contains the normal WP registration form.
Is there a shortcode for the WPforo registration form I can use?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Raphael
Hi @ludovic,
I would like to change the language of the display panel for the registration (for example I would like to translate: I have read and agree to abide by the forum rules.). Where can I write it in German? (see Photo)
All wpForo phrases are located in Dashboard > Forums > Phrases admin page. You can find and change each phrase as you like.
If you don't find the phrase, please, click the [add new] button, insert the identical English version of that phrase as Phrase Key and the translated phrase as Phrase Value.
We suggest you check out the wpForo User Custom fields addon. The add-on allows you to create different types of custom fields. Currently available field types are: Text, Email, Phone, Url, Date, Color Picker, Number, Password, Drop Down, Radio, Checkbox, Textarea, File Upload, Avatar, Usergroup, HTML.
More info about fields type and options you can find here:

@currentsamuel,
Also I will be deactivating and deleting Ultimate member plugin, I have made up my mind to do that because it has been given alot of troubles and causing problems on my site.
Use this(Custom Authorization URLs) option only if you have set other pages for authorization. wpForo doesn’t change its own URLs, these options are only for other plugin compatibility. For example, if you use BuddyPress or Ultimate Member plugin you can set these values:
Login URL: /login/Register URL: /register/
See screenshot below:
More info in this doc:
In any case, if you decide to delete the UM plugin, then you should delete the Login URL/Register URL/Lost Password URL input values too. Those fields should be empty.
So please is there a better plugin you can recommend to use to create the custom registration and login page for my forums
I'll suggest you check the wpForo – User Custom fields add-on. the add-on allows you to create a custom registration form with custom fields, add custom fields in User Profile system, and in Members Search form.
