Register Form

If you’d like to make it possible for people to register for your site you may place this shortcode wherever you’d like to see the Registration Form [edd_register]

When users successfully complete this form, a new WordPress user will be created and the new user will be automatically logged in. This registration does not create a new Easy Digital Downloads customer. Customer records are only created when a user completes their first transaction.

The shortcode also accepts a redirect parameter that lets you set where users are redirected after they log in. By default, users are sent back to the same page as the Register form is displayed on, but if you want to send them elsewhere, such as your homepage, you can do this:

[edd_register redirect="http://yoursite.com"]

Note: if the end user is logged in, nothing at all is rendered where the [edd_register] is placed.
