I wish there had been an answer to this question, as I am also looking for a way to modify the form without having to use it as a widget, rather to use it as the main content on my registration page. A short code would be great if there is one!! 🙂
Hi, I resolved this problem using “BuddyPress Registration Widget” in combination with a plugin that convert widget to shortcode. In order to convert widget to shortcode I do not remember what specific plugin I used, because at this time I do not need convert “BuddyPress Registration Widget” to shortcode, so I deleted it.
But If you do a search in google “wordpress convert widget to shortcode” you can find a few plugin that can help you, like:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/widget-shortcode/
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/widget-to-shortcode/
Same of them converted me in a crazy man because I did not understand how they run.
But one of them runned very well and it was very simple to use.
If I remember well, I used https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/
When you install this plugin a new WIDGET AREA named “WIDGET FOR SHORTCODE” will be created to DASHBOARD>APPEARANSE>WIDGET. You only need to add into “WIDGET FOR SHORTCODE” WIDGET AREA the widget you whant use as short code, and it will return into the widget a field with the shortcode.
If I remember well only was taht… 🙂
I hope it can help you. Let me know 🙂
