Custom register field ID

Hi anamostafa,

Thank you for reaching out!

If I understand correctly, you have customized a new registration form and want to pass the data entered in the Custom Register Fields from LearnPress settings to display it at your customized location or store it as user meta. Is that correct?

If not, could you please clarify your requirements so I can provide a more accurate solution?

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,

Yes exactly, I added a new Custom Register Fields?from LearnPress settings called “phone number” and it has appeared in users profile in wp admin

And I am using a custom registration form and force user to fill in his phone so want to store the number as user meta, that’s why I used update_user_meta function

Hi anamostafa,

Thank you for clarifying!

We’ve understood your use case. However, the method you’re using to retrieve and update the custom registration field data is not correct. you cannot directly update the custom field data using update_user_meta with the field ID like in your example. LearnPress stores all custom registration fields in a single meta key called _lp_custom_register, which is an array.

Instead, LearnPress stores all custom registration fields together under the _lp_custom_register meta key. To handle this properly, you need to retrieve the entire _lp_custom_register array and update the specific field.

You can check how LearnPress manages custom registration fields in the following functions:

1. Form Creation:
   The learnpress_create_new_customer function handles creating new user data, including custom fields.
   Path:
   wp-content/plugins/learnpress/inc/class-lp-forms-handler.php
2. Custom Field Update:
   The lp_user_custom_register_fields function processes and updates custom registration fields.
   Path:
   wp-content/plugins/learnpress/inc/user/lp-user-functions.php

To properly update the custom field, retrieve the entire _lp_custom_register array, then update the specific field and save it back.

Let me know if you need further assistance with this!

Hi Brianuv,

I simply tried with the following with my function but I guess I missed something , considering that the user is just created and all “_lp_custom_register” array is still empty

// I Get the existing ‘_lp_custom_register’ meta value array

$register_fields_array = get_user_meta( $user_id, '_lp_custom_register', true );

//Then I modified the array key with my custom text

$register_fields_array [7708364] = 'custom text';

// Finally I update the ‘_lp_custom_register’ meta with the modified array

update_user_meta( $user_id, '_lp_custom_register', $register_fields_array );

However, the field with key [7708364] is only updated with first letter “c”

I really appreciate your help
