Thank you for your prompt response!!

We have been collecting First Name and Last Name using the Unlimited Member Plugin. Our users must register with First Name, Last Name, Email, and Password. We then show the user’s first name in the menus such as “Hello Test”.

We have set a redirect to the Profile page upon registration. We want to use the Auto Login plugin to send them to this protected (logged in users only) page immediately after they register. (Ideally we want no email sent to them as they have completed the registration process. But that is a different topic.)

Users are now NOT receiving a First Name or Last Name value in their WordPress user profile. That is why we can’t display their name in the menu—the WP profile lacks their name. For example, the user Test Test which just registered on the site has not first name or last name values in the backend Users section of WordPress.

If we deactivate the plugin then new registrations do save their first name and last name.

Any ideas for what we can try to fix this?

Thanks!

If it helps, these are the steps we took. Step 3b was our problem:

1) Download, install and activate the Plugin.

2) Go to the new Sidebars menu and DEFINE one or more new custom sidebars. Enter their name and add a brief COMMENT to describe them. (I say DEFINE because you actually create the content for the sidebars in Step 3.)

3) Go to Appearance > Widgets. You will now see the sidebars you created on the right. (a) Add the new Multiple Sidebars Widget to the Default item on the right. (We did NOT add it to the Sidebar item, we added it to Default.) (b) Add your content into each of the new Sidebar items on the right. This is where you actually get to create your sidebar items with the relevant text, graphics, etc.

4) Create or Edit the page, post, or item where you want to use the new sidebars. A new section on the right should allow you to activate or deactivate the new Sidebars to add them to the page, post, etc. You can order them vertically (top and bottom).

5) Go to Appearance > Editor and add the following code to Sidebar.php (We replaced everything on our old Sidebar.php with this code, which we pasted inside <div> and </div> tags, but maybe the div’s don’t matter.)

<?php
global $MultipleSidebars;
$MultipleSidebars -> dynamic_sidebar();
?>

That is it. The pages should now display the sidebar that you activated for each of them with the content that you gave them in the Widget’s page. There is also a sub-menu called OPTIONS inside the Sidebars menu where you can activate specific Sidebars as default for new pages, posts, etc.

I hope this helps!
