Extended registartion form on wp-registration WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I have a complete locked down wordpress site using [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/password-protect-plugin-for-wordpress/"]]password protect plugin for wordpress[[/LINK]], but the client now wants extended registration fields on the wp-registration form.
The generic registration fields are User name and E-mail.
My client wants these extra fields added (Profile custom fields...)
* Title
* First name
* Family name
* Email address
* Publication / Company
* Job Title
* Publication Location
* Language ( english, spanish and italian )
Not massively fussed about the order
At first, I thought I found the perfect plugin...
[[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pie-register/"]]http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pie-register/[[/LINK]]
But it says it is not compatible with 3.3.1? But I tried it anyway.
<strong>INSTALLATION</strong>
It seemed to work, could not believe how good this plugin is. Added extra custom fields, plus it allows me to add extra custom fields in a dropdown (select) format. Perfect.
I styled the form up and it looked awesome.
<strong>TESTING</strong>
Registering seemed to work, but when I go to the profile page of the new registered user. All the custom fields just display 'Array' - See [[LINK href=" http://i.imgur.com/2wXYY.png"]]screenshot[[/LINK]] here [[LINK href=" http://i.imgur.com/2wXYY.png"]]

OK, so I thought this was because I was using the latest [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/latest.zip"]]Wordpress 3.3.1[[/LINK]] - so I downgraded to [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.2.1.zip"]]Wordpress 3.2.1[[/LINK]], and still it was returning 'Array' in these custom fields and not actually capturing any of my custom field inputted data.
<strong>HELP</strong>
Does any one have alternative solutions to a user registration form on the wp-registration page?
Or does anyone know how to get the Pie Registration to work properly?
<strong>SYSTEM INFO</strong>
I am using [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/latest.zip"]]Wordpress 3.3.1[[/LINK]]

As you can see all my custom fields have vanished apart from the select field.
I've tried this twice and the same happened.
Again this plugin looks ideal, but falls over on the custom fields.
This plugin looks like the same plugin as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pie-register/

You can try also this one: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-registration-form-types-forms-wordpress-cformsii/
And there is an addon for Gravity Forms: http://www.gravityhelp.com/gravity-forms-user-registration-add-on-v1-2-11-released/
Josh Cranwell comments:
So your saying I can achieve my problem with the gravity forms addon?
Can I put the gravity registration form on the wp-register page?
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
I haven't used Gravity Forms before, but in that link, for what it's saying it should be possible.
Josh Cranwell comments:
I'm a big fan of gravity forms, I'm on it...

I haven't tried this, but try changing line 1471 in pie-register.php to
$value = get_user_meta( $user_ID, $id, true );
Josh Cranwell comments:
Hi John,
This bizarrely enough seemed to work.
Do you think there's any risks in this?
Many Thanks
John Cotton comments:
No risks, other than that the plugin author may not fix the issue in the next upgrade and thus overwrite your fix.
You should contact him.
