I am working on a wordpress site and using a plugin: zm-ajax-login-register
to register & login.
With the code I am using, it still only registers the login-name, the email and the password.
My extra fields aren’t added to the database.
All the code you can find here at: Github
I have created extra fields in the register form like this:
<div class="form-wrapper">
<?php
wp_nonce_field( 'facebook-nonce', 'facebook_security' );
wp_nonce_field( 'register_submit', 'security' );
?>
<div class="ajax-login-register-status-container">
<div class="ajax-login-register-msg-target"></div>
</div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('User Name', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="text" required name="login" class="user_login" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('First Name', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="text" required name="first_name" class="first_name" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Last Name', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="text" required name="last_name" class="last_name" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Email', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="text" required name="email" class="user_email ajax-login-register-validate-email" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Street', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="text" required name="street" class="street" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Housenumber', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="number" required name="housenumber" class="housenumber" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('City', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="text" required name="city" class="city" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Zipcode', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="number" required name="zipcode" class="zipcode" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Phone', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="number" required name="phone" class="phone" /></div>
<?php do_action( 'zm_ajax_login_register_below_email_field' ); ?>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Password', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="password" required name="password" class="user_password" /></div>
<div class="noon"><label><?php _e('Confirm Password', 'ajax_login_register'); ?></label><input type="password" required name="confirm_password" class="user_confirm_password" /></div>
<div class="noon"><a href="#" class="already-registered-handle"><?php echo apply_filters( 'ajax_login_register_already_registered_text', __('Already registered?','ajax_login_register') ); ?></a></div>
<div class="button-container">
<input class="register_button green" type="submit" value="<?php _e('Register','ajax_login_register'); ?>" accesskey="p" name="register" disabled />
</div>
</div>
In the register page i have added my data in the user array:
$user = array(
'login' => empty( $_POST['login'] ) ? $login : sanitize_text_field( $_POST['login'] ),
'first_name' => empty($_POST['first_name']),
'last_name' => empty($_POST['last_name']),
'email' => empty( $_POST['email'] ) ? $email : sanitize_text_field( $_POST['email'] ),
'street' => empty( $_POST['street'] ),
'housenumber' => empty( $_POST['housenumber'] ),
'city' => empty( $_POST['city'] ),
'zipcode' => empty( $_POST['zipcode'] ),
'phone' => empty( $_POST['phone'] ),
'password' => empty( $_POST['password'] ) ? $password : sanitize_text_field( $_POST['password'] ),
'fb_id' => empty( $_POST['fb_id'] ) ? false : sanitize_text_field( $_POST['fb_id'] )
);
Then using wp_insert_user
I insert my data like this:
$userdata = array(
'user_login' => $user['login'],
'user_pass' => $user['password'],
'first_name' => $user['first_name'],
'last_name' => $user['last_name'],
'user_nicename' => $user['login'],
'user_email' => $user['email'],
'user_registered' => date_default_timezone_get(),
'display_name' => $user['login'],
/*'street' => $user['street'],
'housenumber' => $user['housenumber'],
'city' => $user['city'],
'zipcode' => $user['zipcode'],
'phone' => $user['phone'],*/
);
$user_id = wp_insert_user( $userdata );
After that I want to add some extra fields to my database using update_user_meta
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'street', $user['street'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'housenumber', $user['housenumber'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'city', $user['city'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'zipcode', $user['zipcode'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'phone', $user['phone'] );
Neither the wp_insert_user adds first-name
or last-name
nor does the update_user_meta
add anything to the database.
Where did I go wrong?
If you are trying to add new fields you need to use add_user_meta not update as there is no record within the database to update it to like so
if you have any issues id suggest viewing the wordpress codex
