    i would like to add an additional section to the registration form ie something along the lines of a simple text form where they must add the additional required information.

    any ideas how to go about this?

    thank you fae

    Hmm, this would require modifying the database aswell as the form, and is beyond my current abilities (php, mehh) but I know it should be too hard for a wiz. I’m suprised no-one has helped you out yet! :-/

    I’m just learning more about the structure of wordpress and I know you’d need to modify the following:

    – comments.php (the form that users enter the data into)
    – wp-comments-post.php (the code that processes what the users enter and put it into the database)
    – the database itself to contain the extra information.

    What I know you’d need to but am not sure how you’d do it (haven’t looked into it yet):
    – all the pages that display user information.
    ————–

    If I get any further I’ll let you know ??

    Fire up phpmyadmin and add the field. Locate the php to call the data. Identify the html necesaary to add the input field. Navigate to the relevant files. HTH.

    I modded my registration page at https://www.kopt.com/wp-register.php

    It was actually really easy. Yes, Root was right, open phpmyadmin if you have it, I added a field user_zip, then edited wp-register.php to update the insert statement and form.

    For more info, contact me via email, levi et arlie det com. (Swap et for @, det for .)

    Hi

    Does anyone know what bits of wp-register.php or registration-functions.php need to be edited to add a new field in? I thought it was straightforward but alas it doesn’t seem to be…

    Cheers
    Matt
