Implementing frontend registration
Fortunately, we can make use of the existing functionalities to implement registration from the frontend. We can use a regular HTTP request or AJAX-based technique to implement this feature. In this book, I will focus on a normal process instead of using AJAX. Our first task is to create the registration form in the frontend.
There are various ways to implement such forms in the frontend. Let's look at some of the possibilities as described in the following section:
- Shortcode implementation
- Page template implementation
- Custom template implementation
Now, let's look at the implementation of each of these techniques.

Shortcodes are the quickest way to add dynamic content to your pages. In this situation, we need to create a page for registration. Therefore, we need to create a shortcode that generates the registration form, as shown in the following code:
add_shortcode( "register_form", "display_register_form"...
