Vote after registration or Google sign in
The vote after registration or Google Sign-In feature requires users to register or sign in using their Google account before casting a vote. This guarantees that every vote comes from distinct users, which minimizes the possibility of fraudulent and bot-generated votes.
You can create a customized registration form for the users interested in voting. The Contest Gallery plugin allows you to add up to 16 fields on the registration form. This will provide you with the flexibility to collect valuable information about the voter that you can use to retarget them through targeted campaigns later on.
Fields that you can add to the registration form are:
- WP first name
- WP last name
- WP nickname
- WP username
- WP email
- WP password
- WP password confirm
- Input
- Textarea
- Select
- Check agreement
- Profile image
- HTML
- Simple captcha
- Google captcha
You can re-order these fields as you want or remove the one you feel unnecessary.
As an admin, you have the authority to edit data of the voter from the official WordPress user area. Plus, users can also edit their personal information from the “Edit Profile” section after logging into their account.
Once the registration form is ready, you can display it on any page or post using the cg_users_reg_id shortcode, and the login form can be displayed by using the cg_users_login shortcode.
But to cut the registration process short, the Contest Gallery WordPress plugin allows you to embed a Google Sign button using the shortcode cg_google_sign_in.
If the user has an account ending with “@google.com,” they will be automatically logged in through the Google sign button. They don’t have to create a new account by completing the long default registration form, which will save them valuable time.
Let’s explore some of the numerous benefits you can enjoy from the vote after registration feature.
