Registration Fields not Propagating

    Hi Chad,

    I just downloaded and installed version 3.0.9.2. Everything looks great and appears to do exactly what I need. Thanks for that.

    The only issue I’m experiencing is that when I add an additional field to the user registration (required or not required), and the user actually fills it in, when I go to check the user profile, the field is empty.

    The field and label are shown in the backend, but the answer provided in the registration form doesn’t seem to be adding to the db or simply isn’t being updated in the user profile.

    Any ideas? (Not sure it matters – shouldn’t – but I’m using the woocommerce registration page on the frontend.)

    Yes that matters. You need to make sure that the fields you create in WP-Members match what you are using for WooCommerce (not the other way around). This means the option name you give the field in WP-Members needs to be whatever the meta key is for the WC field.

    So if I create an entirely new field in WP-members – let’s say a text field with “Favorite Color” as the label – I would have to have previously created a new meta field within WC somehow and use that key or else whatever is entered in the “Favorite Color” field will not propagate?

    Basically, I would have to create a billing-favorite-color meta key in WC before this would work via WP-Members.

    Thanks.

    If you want WP-Members to match up with your WC fields, then the meta keys need to match up. Generally, that is going to be creating a field in WP-Members to match a field in WC. However, this is only necessary for fields that you intend to use in the WP-Members registration form. If the data is handled in the WC profile forms or another registration form, then you don’t need to worry about it.
