Today, we’ve released a new version of the User Registration add-on. This update includes fixes various bugs and adds support for the data retention features of Gravity Forms 2.4.

Version 4.0 of the User Registration add-on is available via automatic update or manual download through the downloads page.

Data Retention Support

As of version 2.4, Gravity Forms includes the ability to automatically manage how submitted data is handled. It’s a great feature for managing users’ private data, especially for international users who would be subject to data protection regulations.

Version 4.0 of the User Registration add-on fully integrates with these data protection features, allowing you to manage your users’ registration information better than ever before.
