Did you know that interactive content on a website can generate double the number of conversions? The same goes for your registration forms. If your WordPress form is full of form fields irrelevant to each registrant, you are wasting your visitor’s time. You are also moving away from increasing your conversions. Don’t make this mistake! Dive right into the article and discover how to create registration forms with conditional fields in WordPress to deliver a tailor-made experience for your form visitors.
Additionally, you’ll learn tips to make your WordPress registration forms more attractive and how to make your registrant’s life easier to fill out these forms. Let’s get started!
Customize your registration forms with conditional logic functionality.
Depending on what kind of event you are organizing and what participant groups are registering for your event (sponsor, speaker, exhibitor, general attendee, etc.), the questions on your form will be different. You don’t want to display all form fields for all types of attendees. This is where the Conditional Logic add-on comes to the rescue. If you’ve thought creating registration forms with conditional fields in WordPress is hard, we are here to show you otherwise!
In our example below, you can see how are certain fields hidden from users who select the option “No”. On the other hand, when users select the option “Yes”, the content will change dynamically, and another Radio list of options will appear.
This is just one of many ways to use conditional logic and create registration forms with conditional fields in WordPress.
Applying a simple logic, you can show and hide specific fields, personalize the questions based on the previous user’s selection on the form, and make the registration process more efficient.
You can show different prices based on the type of attendee; you can display different meal packages or even customize the thank you page once the registrant completes your registration form.
Tips to improve your WordPress registration forms
Registration forms are an excellent way to collect user data. However, creating a high-converting registration form is about finding the right balance between collecting attendees’ data without turning them off.
Unfortunately, we live in hectic times, and your visitors are often interrupted when they are in the process of filling out online forms. Luckily, you can do two things to help you break this vicious cycle of abandoned forms!
Break your long registration forms in WordPress into multiple steps and show/hide entire steps.
Long forms can be daunting. Luckily with Ninja Forms, you have nothing to worry about! Using the Multi-Step Forms add-on, you can break your long registration forms into multiple steps and reduce the psychological friction that long forms can cause.
Multi-step forms let your form visitors complete their information in smaller chunks and create a positive experience that leads to increased conversions. But there is more!
If you are creating registration forms with conditional fields, you can combine forces of the Conditional Logic add-on and Multi-Step Forms add-on and show or hide the entire parts/steps of your registration form.
Why continue using the long form when you don’t have to? Stop striking out with long registration forms and start making these forms more user-friendly with the Multi-Step Forms add-on!
Give your form visitors the option to save and continue later with their registration form.
If you have a long even registration form broken into multiple steps, and you don’t want to lose valuable submissions, the Save Progress add-on will solve the low completion rate problem. Your visitors can return to their incomplete form anytime and finish where they left off at their convenience. We can guarantee your visitors will no longer feel frustrated because they will no longer need to start filling up your form from scratch again!
