Hello all,

I have a registration form on my site that works just fine, but when i embed it in another form it does not register the user.

I don't get any errors when submitting the form. Is there something i'm missing here.

 

Thanks

"Is there something i'm missing here?"There could be, but first let me address the elephant in the room. Why are you embedding a working registration form as a child form in a parent?The part that you are missing is found in Formidable's documentation here: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_use_embedded_form_actions/The content I am referencing is this: "By default, actions are not triggered for embedded forms."From a design viewpoint, you are probably using embedded forms incorrectly. But if this is part of your design, you need custom code to trigger the actions in the now embedded registration form. The document has starter code that most developers can work with, but if writing custom code is beyond your skillset, let me refer you to the best Formidable developers anywhere: https://formidable-masterminds.com/developers-directory/

I hate that this editor wipes out the formatting.
