XF 1.5 Reduce number of registration fields

[fredrikse]

Hi,

How can I reduce the number of fields in the registration form?

I've been studying some metrics for some time and out of 57 users, for a certain period of time, 33% enter information in the registration form and continue. 77% does not.

Bottom line is I want the user to enter just e-mail and username. The rest can be added to the member profile later on by the user.

You would need to edit the template and ensure none of the fields you removed are required during registration (e.g. date of birth).

Thanks, @Brogan. I'll take a look at the templates to see what can be done.

Dragonbyte have a mod for this in the resource manager.

You can use these two simple add-ons:
