If your registration form collects personal details, visitors should be able to see and accept your terms first.
The Login & Signup block in Nexter Blocks Pro adds a consent checkbox to the registration form.
For every Login & Signup setting in one place, see the Login & Signup block guide.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Login & Signup block is part of Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Login & Signup, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
- Registration switched on: in Settings > General, tick Anyone can register.
- Your privacy policy page, so you can link to it in the text.
Steps
- Add the Login & Signup block to your page and click Design from Scratch.
- In the Forms panel, set Type to Register.
- Choose a Layout: Inline Form shows the form on the page, Button opens it from a toggle button.
- Open the Register tab, click + Add Field and choose Terms & Conditions in the Field dropdown.
- Write your consent text in the Terms & Conditions field, including a link to your privacy policy.
- Save the page and try the form once on the front end.
How It Behaves
- The checkbox appears above the register button and must be ticked before the form will submit.
- Leaving it unticked stops the submission, so no account is created.
- The wording is yours, so you can point at your terms page, your privacy policy, or both.
Limitations
- Pro only.
- The block does not store a record of who accepted, or when. Keep your own record if you need one.
- A checkbox on its own does not make a site GDPR compliant. Check your wider data handling with a legal adviser.
Troubleshooting
Visitors can register without ticking the box
Check the Terms & Conditions field is in the Register tab’s field list and the page is saved.
The form does nothing when the button is clicked
The consent box is not ticked. Ticking it lets the form submit.
