I have been using this plugin for a very long time, including with several paid add-ons, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Roland, for all your efforts!
I use several sign up forms and to differentiate them, I use a hidden field that simply records a value present in the shortcode like this “shortcode->source”. Exactly as described in the “Capturing a Literal Value from the Shortcode” tutorial. And everything went perfectly until a few days ago when version 2.5.2 appeared.
After the update, the record gets the value “shortcode->source” instead of the value defined in the call line of the command [pdb_signup source=”homepage”].

I downgraded to version 2.5.1 and everything returned to normal (the record gets the value “homepage”). I wouldn’t want to fall behind with the updates, so maybe something can be done with this problem.

Thanks again Roland!

When the user logs in with a different browser (different set of cookies), they again are able to create a few records and then they stop being able to do so.

I am running Version 1.9.5.13

When this problem manifests it is also the case that the default values for fields are not being filled in when first arriving at the page to create the record (where the [pdb_signup] shortcode is located. When the system is behaving, these are properly initialized.

I am using some hidden fields that are initialized with current_user fields

I have set up the plugin as instructed and placed the [pdb_signup] shortcode. It displays fine however when I click “Sign Up” it just jumps straight to the thank you page. It doesn’t give you any options to fill in name, email, etc.

You can try for yourself to sign up, I have tried with a different browser and a different computer.

It creates an entry in the database with no email, name, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wordpress version: 5.4
PHP: 7.0

I have created a “dashboard” using the documentation on your site; showing the user profile with <?php $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
echo do_shortcode(‘[pdb_single filter=”user_login=’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘”]’) ?>

My issue is with WP users who have no record yet. How do I get a signup form or better a link to signup form to show if no record is found for the current WP user?

Kind regards,

I have used the plugin multiple times on various projects and it is really becoming one of my favorites thanks to its undeniable versatility. Truly an essential addition to almost any WordPress website.

I have run to an issue lately and I would like your opinion on the following matter.

When a user visits the site via their private link that was e-mailed to them after their registration, they land on their profile page where they can edit / enrich their personal information, as expected.

The problem is that when they do so by hitting the button on the form, the page goes blank. That is, the same page. There is no redirection to an other page, or an attempt to load something else. The form just disappears along with everything else, leaving the page completely blank. Let me mention however that the changes to the user’s profile are written correctly without any issues.

In a similar note that may help detect the root of the above problem, the registration page (the page containing the [pdb_signup] shortcode) also goes blank in the exact same fashion if we opt for the use of a different, dedicated “Thank you” page (one that contains the [pdb_signup_thanks] shortcode) in the plugin’s settings. The entry is not recorded at all and no email is sent to the participant. However, if the “Same Page” option is selected in the aforementioned settings, the entry is recorded (registration), the e-mail is sent and the appropriate message does indeed show normally at the same page as expected. I am perfectly happy with this workaround as far as the registration goes, I do request some help about the profile update issue though.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Mike.

Reference your post at : https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-participants-database-linking-user-id-with-wordpress-user-id-other?replies=2

I’m trying to do something similar. I am at the following:

1. The first page has a form which the new user enters the basic parameters (preferred ID, Password, first name, last name and e-mail. Submitting the form creates the entry in the WP User Database. This step is done first to make sure there is no duplicated email and user ID. If this happens successfully, it will then display the [pdb_signup] form

2. The issue is that I cannot default the ID, first name, last name and e-mail because at this stage the user isn’t actually logged in so querying $current_user just gives blank results. I tried calling the wp_authenticate() function prior to [pdb_signup] which according to the documentation (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_authenticate) does a log in but it doesn’t actually seem to.

Any thoughts?

Greg
