Member signup and login forms allow your visitors to access members-only areas of your site, such as a Members Area, a forum, or a blog. Members use the signup form to register their details, and the login form to sign in to their account after signing up.
You can choose whether to show the default signup form or create your own customized version. Whichever form you choose, there are lots of ways to customize your forms to look and work exactly how you want.
Default forms
You can change the design of the default forms by updating your site's theme. You can also choose whether the Login or Signup option is displayed first, choose which social networks members can sign up with, and add terms of use and privacy policies.
