Gravity Forms lets you set up user registration via an additional plugin but it require some setup. It’s not hard to run into a scenario where you though people were getting registered but they were not. Not a big deal if it’s a handful of people but not pleasant if it’s more than that.
I wrote this little plugin the other night to deal with a scenario like this. The comments below explain most of the important bits. It will require you to know what your form ID is, the form field IDs, and the blog ID of the site you want to add the users to.
I trigger the function by attaching it to a shortcode and sticking that shortcode in a post or page. I’m not sure that’s the best idea but it seems to work fine.
