• Hide invitation code field - Enable this option to hide invitation code field if the user uses an invitation link for registration. Learn more about invitation links in this guide: WordPress Registration Form Plugin (CMREG) - Settings - Invitation Codes. Note: this option was introduced in version 3.4.6.

  TIPS

  You can use these inside the URL:

  • %usernicename% - will be replaced by the username

    %userlogin%  - will be replaced by the user login

    %usersitename% - will be replaced by the micro-site assigned to the user created. 

    For example, if the user's login is "tom123", for that user, www.site.com/%userlogin% will become www.site.com/tom123
