Registration form: custom user meta fields not in profile

    Hi,

    I have created a custom registration form and added a couple of custom fields. Have assigned the fields as described here.

    The extra fields are present in the frontend form and in form submission in dashboard. But, the extra fields are not present at the profile page of the user.

    I do notice similar older support tickets about this issue, so is this something that (still) need to be fixed? Or am I doing something wrong perhaps?

    Hello @guido07111975 !

    Hope you’re doing well today!

    Forminator is only used to collect the additional data but the handling of the data on the site needs to be done additionally as there’s no single way the data would be used.

    It’s not very difficult to display the data though, you can use a code snippet like this one and adjust it to your needs: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16933746/5820627

    Note the use of get_user_meta function where you need to provide the meta key you’ve added in the Forminator form.

    Best regards,

    Hi Pawel,

    Thanks for your reply. If I understand correctly: You can create custom user meta keys with Forminator, but to display them at the user profile page you need additional code? If that’s correct, I don’t understand why Forminator creates those keys, without adding them at user profile page? Because that’s after all the right place for those keys, am I right?

    Hi @guido07111975,

    As mentioned in previous response, Forminator is only used to collect the additional data (user meta). Handling the data is different thing and as there’s no single way the data would be used, Forminator is not handling it.

    I hope the workaround suggested helps you further proceed.

    Kind Regards,
    Nebu John

    Hi,

    Yes, understood. Fields and values are on profile page now, by using a customized version of that snippet.
