Just wondering if there’s a way to have a checkbox checked by default on the registration/profile page? I tried setting the value to ‘YES’ but that didn’t seem to work. Thanks again Cheers Matt * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Marco Cimmino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cimmo/) * (@cimmo) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-cimy-user-extra-fields-checkboxes-checked-by-default/#post-1925646) * Indeed this is disabled in the code, but I forgot why 🙂 I’ll check * Plugin Author [Marco Cimmino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cimmo/) * (@cimmo) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-cimy-user-extra-fields-checkboxes-checked-by-default/#post-1925647) * I enabled it and seems working, you can try editing cimy_user_extra_fields.php at line 437 and add in the list: “checkbox” * Thread Starter [Matt Jensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ultrawebsites/) * (@ultrawebsites) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-cimy-user-extra-fields-checkboxes-checked-by-default/#post-1925654) * Hi Cimmo * Works, thanks very much! * As a side note, I tried it for “dropdown-multi” but it didn’t work. * Sorry for the delay responding, I’ve been experiencing another issue where for some reason I’ve been seeing CUEF validation messages on the ‘Dashboard > Users > Add New’ page, even though that page doesn’t even show the CEUF fields…! I’m wondering if it’s possibly a WordPress 3.1 issue as I’ve only just started seeing it. It may be me too though! * Thanks again!

Users->Users Extended page. * Plus you are totally off topic here. * [zeckenklauber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeckenklauber/) * (@zeckenklauber) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-cimy-user-extra-fields-checkboxes-checked-by-default/#post-1925711) * Hi Marco, * i am having kind of the same issue. I want to check a checkbox field by default. BUT WITH URL! The documentation says values can be passed as URL parameters: * > You can use URL (only for registration page), example: > [http://www.exampleofmywebsite.it/wordpress29/wp-login.php?action=register&FIELD_01=test1&FIELD_02=test2](http://www.exampleofmywebsite.it/wordpress29/wp-login.php?action=register&FIELD_01=test1&FIELD_02=test2) > FIELD_01 and FIELD_02 are two existing fields that will get default assignment > with string “test1″ and “test2″. * I tried it with my checkbox, but it doesnt work. When i assign a value (e.g. yes) in the field definition, it works, the checkbox is checked. But i REALLY need the URL feature, as it gives me the only opportunity to have kind of two different registration forms. I only need the default checked checkbox in a special case! * Thanks for your great plugin and help!
