In your documentation for Forms Shortcodes (https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_user_form), you have a shortcode [cred_user_form]. This shortcode does not work - it just renders as text. However, the shortcode listed at the top of the page, without any underscores (ie, [creduserform][/creduserform]) does work perfectly.

Are those supposed to be separate shortcodes, or are the underscores in the first example an error?

I'll have a word with the documentation team as that's somewhat misleading.

The shortcode with underscores (cred_user_form) is used to insert a user form on a page.

The shortcode without underscores (creduserform) is part of the form itself, and wraps the entire form content.

That makes sense, thanks.
