  • Introducing DAP Form Builder!

The new DAP Form Builder is incredibly powerful , customizable and easy-to-use! You can access it from DAP Admin >> Products / Levels >> Manage Forms page.  

It'll allow you to create and customize registration forms for your "Free" products in no time!

You can use the DAP form builder to create fully customized opt-in forms for your free products. Publish the form code on your site to allow users to register to your free DAP product.

Key Features:

1. You can customize the look & feel of the form easily.

2. You can publish the shortcode anywhere on your WP page.

3. You can add different "types" of custom fields to your form with the click of a button.

4. You can add Google Captcha to your signup form with the click of a button (to prevent spam signups).

5. Any changes you make in backend to the style or form elements, it'll get picked up by the frontend automatically.

6. You can add a "terms & conditions" checkbox and require users to accept terms & conditions to complete signup, with the click of a button.

7. You can set it up in such a way the users will be auto-logged-in to their membership after they signup and can instantly download the content.

8. The users will be added to DAP, and if you've connected DAP to an external email marketing platform like AWeber, Mailchimp etc, users will be added to those platforms as well!

Please watch the video above to see how it works.

  • New Reset Password Feature

Currently when users click on the 'Forgot Password' link in the login form, DAP sends out the password in an email. We've now introduced a new reset password feature for better account security. We've added a new "Login" template (template #6) that supports this new "Reset Password" feature. 

Steps to create a Member Login form with Reset Password option:

1.  Visit WP admin >> pages and click on the DAP Member Pages button.

2.  Click on "Member Login". It'll bring up an editor where you can configure member login options.

3.  Select "Template 6"  and generate Login shortcode. Publish the login page.

Please note: if you've an existing login page, just replace the shortcode on that page with the new login shortcode. The old login templates do not support 'reset password' feature.

Here's how it works:

1.  Visit the login page in a browser where you are not logged-in to DAP and click on the Forget Password link on the login page.

2. It'll bring up a Reset Password form.

3. Enter the email address that is associated with your account.

4. Click on the "Sent Reset Link" button.

5. It'll send you an email with a reset password link.  

(Please note: the contents of the reset password email can be customized in DAP admin >> Templates page) 

6. Click on the "reset password" link in the email.

6. It'll bring up a Reset Password form where you can reset your password!
