Hide fields at registration that appear on user profile frontend once logged in

  • Hi thanks for making WP-member. We love it! It does lots of stuff that we haven’t been able to find in any other plugin. We’ll be upgrading to the pro version soon.

    I’m trying to create a simple registration page so that users can create a profile with just a name and email but then have many other fields visible to them on the user profile frontend that they can fill out over time. I have many custom meta fields created with WP-member. I know that I can make the fields not required so they can just scroll past them but I don’t want first time users to get overwhelmed when they are first signing up with all the fields.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Glad you like the plugin!

    Currently, you can use the wpmem_filter to remove (or add) fields to the form. There are a few generic examples with the documentation, the last of which shows how to remove a field you do not want used in the form.

    Also note that in an upcoming update (hopefully 3.2.0 but possibly later) that there will be an option to select registration form and profile form for each field in the field manager tab.

    Adding the capability to independently edit the fields included in the registration form or the profile form would be fantastic and solve one my biggest WP-Members headaches. Please don’t let this fall to the back burner.

    I agree with tomvc.

    It’s definitely in the works. It should be done during the 3.2 series of releases (although maybe not the next one, which at this point will be 3.2.4). The biggest issue at this point is handling upgrades of existing sites without blowing up.
