 * Hello,
    I have created a registration form in this page with some custom fields
   in it.I have some predefined custom fields.When i add the key name in the form
   the data stored as “user_registration_author_type_user” but i want to populate
   meta key “author_type_user”. Is there any way to turn of this “user_registration_”
   prefix from the form meta key name?
 * Happy new year and thank you.

 * Hi [@psdtowpservice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psdtowpservice/),
 * Thank you for the information in detail sorry but it is not possible to turn 
   off the “user_registration_” prefix from the form meta key name. The field will
   store the value as any other extra fields after the registration. whenever a 
   field value is stored in the database, the values are stored in the meta key 
   but the name of the meta key is changed a bit. A prefix “user_registration_” 
   is added to it.
 * Let me know if you have any other queries and I will get back to you.
 * Thanks and Regards!

 * Hello,
    Thanks for your reply.Is there any way to rename this prefix “user_registration_”.
   Or is there any way to use the current user meta key from the database?
 * Thanks
