Title: Multiple registration forms Last modified: July 12, 2018 --- # Multiple registration forms * [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/) * (@wiselamp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-registration-forms-8/) * Hi there! I have some problem with “Using Multiple Registration Forms”. * I created a field group (common) with 3 record, and oc a hidden one with a name postname. [https://i.imgur.com/ujZzW8p.png](https://i.imgur.com/ujZzW8p.png) * But this point i got stucked. On the result page the [pdb_list filter=”postname =jsz”] gives nothing for me ( on the same page the [pdb_list filter=’approve= no’] is working perfectly) * I figured it out, that the problem could be with the empty value of the postname, but i don’t know why. [https://i.imgur.com/oQX9jAQ.png](https://i.imgur.com/oQX9jAQ.png) * The value must be “jsz”, but nothing. I tried to change the theme, tried with the $post->post_title value (and post->post_name too), but nothing so far. * Am i doing something wrong? The shortcode on the sign-up page is [pdb_signup groups=”common”] * Thank you for your support, and that great plugin! 🙂 Regards, Gabor - This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/). - This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/).

So my problem is what should i write to get the page name back. Strange, if i try it on a page: `post_name; ?>` on the frontend i got `post_name; ?>` seems like the -> is the problem, but unfortunately my experience of php coding isn’t enough for this. (i tried to change language and theme of course) - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/). * Plugin Author [Roland Barker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xnau/) * (@xnau) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-registration-forms-8/#post-10488978) * OK, probably what is happening is the visual editor is converting the code characters. Check your page in text mode, make sure the codes are correct, then save without going back to visual mode. * Plugin Author [Roland Barker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xnau/) * (@xnau) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-registration-forms-8/#post-10488983) * Also, when using a dynamic hidden field, you need to make sure that is working first, before anything else. * Look at the HTML of the signup form (which you have done) and make sure that the post name is showing up in the value of the hidden field. if it is not, something is wrong. Go back to the field definition and make sure the “default” value is correct, no spaces or anything that doesn’t belong there. - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [Roland Barker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xnau/).

In the PHPMyAdmin, the value is `a:1:{s:15:"post->post_name";s:15:"post->post_name";}` The dynamic field still not working. I’m out of ideas. 🙁 - This reply was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by [wiselamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselamp/). * Plugin Author [Roland Barker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xnau/) * (@xnau) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-registration-forms-8/#post-10495697) * The “post->post_name” should be set as the “default” value of the hidden field.

How can I create multiple registration forms using the same fields? For example I have two different groups, A & B and they both use the same fields but when I select a field from group A to put it in group B, it removes it from group A. I don’t want to have to create new fields for each group.
