Update:

I got it sorted out with the “Ultimate Member” plugin ( https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ultimate-member/ ), I created a custom registration form, and could also build the conditional form elements too (if province = A; show it’s regional choices; if region = x, show it’s local choices) … all that iput gets stored in the user-meta table, and I can access it later too with a custom “update your profile” form.

Thanks (y)

Hi. Thanks, that worked for email and first_name, but not last_name – LOL.

I give up … this does not look like I will be able to use it: more for the fact that I can not send the updated info back to the user meta table. Reading is one thing, updating the info is quite another.

I will have to get someone to custom write the forms for me. I have a 3 tiered conditional grouping, which work beautifully with this:

Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7
https://en-za.www.ads-software.com/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/

It shows a drop-down of Provinces, based on selection, it then shows one of a few drop downs of Districts, then based on selection is shows one of MANY drops downs of Local areas.

Besides, even this add-on: “Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7” does not save those custom fields into the user meta, so what’s the point of trying to read what is not even being written to the dB.

Thanks any-way.

This will give you a dynamic drop-down select list
