    I have a problem after enabling the plugin – by default, I use function in my theme

    add_action('user_register','my_function');
function my_function($user_id){

$userinfo = get_userdata($user_id);

if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) {
    $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
}

//and other stuff

    but after enabling plugin – i get empty $first_name

    How to solve the problem?

    Please help

    My function works with standard user registration.
    When i enable User Registration plugin and change user registration form with your plugin – $_POST[‘first_name’] – is empty.

    How to get from registration form – user first_name when using your plugin ?

    Hi @pablos22,

    You can use the following code snippet to get the first name.

    add_action('user_registration_after_register_user_action','ur_function',10,3); 

function ur_function( $form_data, $form_id, $user_id ){ 

    $firstname = ''; 

    if( isset( $form_data['first_name']->value ) && ! empty($form_data['first_name']->value) ){ 

        $firstname = $form_data['first_name']->value; 

    } 

}

    I hope this helps 🙂

    Regards!
