• Q: When will be supported mandatory accept of terms and conditions field?

    A: Has been always there: is as easy as adding a checkbox and setting “equal to” rule to YES.

    Q: What the Database options do exactly?

    A: Basically you can:
    - empty or drop extra fields or extra fields data (inserted by users)
    - reset or drop plug-in’s options

    Q: Yes but will this affect other data? It says “WordPress Fields table”, this is scary.

    A: No, it will affect _only_ the data produced by the plug-in. Really.
    Also keep in mind that if you do NOT have to restore default values or uninstall the plug-in, then you do not need to touch them.

    Q: Cimy User Extra Fields is not compatible with “Themed Login”, how can I do?

    A: The reality is this plug-in IS compatible with WordPress 2.1 or greater and “Themed Login” NOT, so it’s NOT a Cimy User Extra Field’s bug! However I have tried with a little success a workaround to make it works, but first please understand that this is totally untested and unsupported hack, if you want a better one ask the author of that plug-in to support new WordPress!
    If you still want *my* personal and unsupported hack edit the plug-in “Themed Login” and do these 3 modifications:

    1. at line 773, after “global $wpdb, $wp_query;” add this:
      global $errors;
    2. at line 811, before “if ( 0 == count($errors) ) {” add this:
      do_action(‘register_post’);
    3. at line 871, before “A password will be emailed to you.” add this:
      <?php do_action(‘register_form’); ?>

    Q1: I got “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted [...]“, why?
    Q2: I got blank pages after activating this plug-in, why?

    A1: Because your memory limit is too low, to fix it edit your php.ini and search memory_limit key and put at least to 12M
    A2: If you do not have access to your php.ini you can try this workaround (might not work)
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

    Q: Your plug-in is great, but when you will add support to add more than one choice in radio and dropdown fields?

    A: This feature is here since ages, for radio field just use the same name, for dropdown field read instructions in the add field area (in the plug-in).

    Q: Uploaded images are not resized, why?

    A: You should add php-gd module (under Ubuntu install php5-gd package).

    Q: Why big files are not being uploaded?

    A: Please check this website, tells you how to change your PHP configurations to fix this issue: http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php

    Q: Why admin user cannot see all fields even if I set to do it?

    A: Probably you installed the first time WordPress on PHP4 and you experienced this bug: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8317
    To fix the problem you need to create another administrator user and change admin user to another role and then back to administrator.

    Q1: I’m using your plug-in on WordPress MultiSite per-blog installation and when I register one user all Extra Fields are ignored, why?
    Q2: I get this error: ‘Fatal error: Call to undefined function cimy_uef_mu_blog_exists()’, why?

    A: Because you missed to move cimy_uef_mu_activation.php file please check carefully the installation steps.

    Q: I’m using your plug-in on WordPress MultiSite per-blog installation, I’m registering users on one blog but they appear on the main blog too, why?

    A: Because WordPress MS is designed like that and I can’t do anything about, however all extra fields and relative data are saved per-blog.
    Since I had already a long discussion with an user that didn’t believe this, don’t bother me to insist on this topic until you prove I’m wrong.

    Q: I’m trying to use a regular expression in the rules, but the check does not work as expected, why?

    A: Usually means your regex is wrong, please study how to properly build it: http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php

    Q1: I do not see Extra Fields under the page user-new.php can you add there too?

    Q2: How can I import new users with Extra Fields data into?

    A: Unluckily due to a WordPress limitation I can’t add Extra Fields into user-new.php but you can quickly add all the users you want using my plugin: Cimy User Managerhttp://www.marcocimmino.net/cimy-wordpress-plugins/cimy-user-manager/

    Q: I cannot edit neither delete some Extra Fields, usually after the 10th one, why?

    A: Your PHP server is probably limiting number of $_POST elements, Suhosin for example does it. Please allow at least 500 or more vars.
    http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/configuration.html#suhosin.post.max_vars

    Q: I am trying to change the fields’ order, but whatever I try it doesn’t work, why?

    A: First of all you need to select at least 2 fields if you want to change the order.
    Secondly if you change for example field n.1 to position n.3 be sure that field n.3 goes into another position and finally that a field goes into position n.1
    In short: every field should have a new position or at least the same one, but no positions can be skipped or be present multiple times.

    Q: When feature XYZ will be added?

    A: I don’t know, remember that this is a 100% free project so answer is “When I have time and/or when someone help me with a donation”.

    Q: Can I help with a donation?

    A: Sure, visit the donation page or contact me via e-mail.

    Q: Can I hack this plug-in and hope to see my code in the next release?

    A: For sure, this is just happened and can happen again if you write useful new features and good code. Try to see how I maintain the code and try to do the same (or even better of course), I have rules on how I write it, don’t want “spaghetti code”, I’m Italian and I want spaghetti only on my plate.
    There is no guarantee that your patch will hit an official upcoming release of the plug-in, but feel free to do a fork of this project and distribute it, this is GPL!

    Q1: I have found a bug what can I do?
    Q2: Something does not work as expected, why?

    A: The first thing is to download the latest version of the plug-in and see if you still have the same issue.
    If yes please write me an email or write a comment but give as more details as you can, like:

    • Plug-in version
    • WordPress version
    • MYSQL version
    • PHP version
    • exact error that is returned (if any)

    after describe what you did, what you expected and what instead the plug-in did :)
    Then the MOST important thing is: DO NOT DISAPPEAR!
    A lot of times I cannot reproduce the problem and I need more details, so if you don’t check my answer then 80% of the times bug (if any) will NOT BE FIXED!

    Hello there !
    Thank for you nice plugin :)
    After activating the plugin on the network (wordpress 3.5.1), if i create a new user in a partiular site, i have a internal 500 error, appreantly comming from your plugin, indicating that the use of a function is deprected since wordpress 2.0.

    [15-Apr-2013 09:33:43 UTC] PHP Notice: has_cap est appelé avec un argument qui est déprécié depuis la version 2.0 !

    1. Nope, the real error is the last one and that means you have WordPress MS and you did NOT read the documentation!

    Hi Marco,

    Great plugin, I am a total nube so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question.

    Is it possible to add a link to a terms and conditions page by adding a URL link in the label or next to it?

    Thanks

    1. Add the link in the field’s description, but should work in the label too.

  4. Bruce says:

    This is a really great plugin however I have not setup the plugin correctly and I am getting the following problem. Users can complete all my new users fields when registering however when it is submitted to be approved the registration isn’t showing up in my pending new users section. I think it might be something to do with the database/table setting but I am just grasping at straws.
    Last but not least how do I get rid of the bit where it says a password will be emailed to the person on the registration form.
    Thank you very much
    Bruce

    1. however when it is submitted to be approved the registration isn’t showing up in my pending new users section

      Which section you are talking about?

      Last but not least how do I get rid of the bit where it says a password will be emailed to the person on the registration form.

      This should already happen by default if you are showing the hidden WordPress’ password field, odd that is not happening.

      1. Bruce says:

        Hi Marco

        Thanks so much for getting back in touch. In answer to your first question I am talking about the WordPress Dashboard/Users/All users section. I hope I am not being thick but I assumed after someone registers on my site the new registration will be in this section “pending” approval by myself. What ever I have done wrong I don’t appear to be able to see any new registrations in this section.
        As far as the second issue I described I have sorted this out myself. It was down to my error as per usual.
        I really hope I haven’t made a stupid mistake with the first issue but thank you very much for your help.
        Thanks
        Bruce

        1. Unluckily no, there is no way to see “pending” registered users, also because you are not the approver, they have to confirm themself. So I think you misunderstood the feature.

  5. Bruce says:

    Hi Marco
    As I thought I am being thick. You have been extremely helpful and I thank you for that. I will look at changing the registration to allow me to use your plugin as its excellent.
    thanks
    Bruce

  6. Kevin Raian says:

    Hi there! How can i make a group of checkboxes do part of one group? I mean, when i create checkboxes they have a individual category on extended users. I wanted to have them on the same.

    Ex.: A category of games that the user plays:
    [] Battlefield
    [] Battlefield 3
    [] . . .

    And on the extended users page i can see that way

    Name Mail Games
    Kevin Raina kr_fenix@live.com BF
    BF3

    1. You cannot. You can only group radio fields.

  7. Falcon says:

    WordPress 3.5.1
    CIMY User Extra Fields 2.5.1
    PHP and MySQL are current version

    I see the extended fields when I view my profile within WordPress but not when I try to view the extra fields in user registration or in Edit Profile on the web site I don’t see them.

    I am reasonably new to WordPress so I might have missed something obvious.

    1. Do you have other plug-ins that modify the registration and/or profile?

      1. Falcon says:

        Marco

        Sorry for the delay.

        No, I do not have other plug-ins modifying the user profile.

        I just went live with that site. I am building another test site where I will build the next version of this site. I will email you or leave a note here as soon as your plug-in has been installed.

        1. Yes, a test user where I can see with my eyes would be great.

  8. Shahriar says:

    Hi Marco
    Thanks for your amazing plugin.
    I have 2 questions:
    1- i want use upload image field in registration form. when i install plugin this work fine but when i update settings this field disappear from the form. (in the admin panel setting i have the upload image field but it is not shown in the form)

    2- how can i remove the “A password will be e-mailed to you” at the end of the form?

    1. 1. Can you describe exactly when you save where and what changes exactly.
      2. It is automatically removed if you show the WordPress’ password field.

  9. Christopher says:

    Hello,

    I think there is a bug in Users Extended Page

    I see a blank page when i have a lot of users (10.000+) even if i set memory_limit to 256M or higher

    I tested in some different environments and all works fine if i have a few users.

    Any ideas on what might be causing this? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

    1. Seems someone else reported this indeed, but I need a way to test it, don’t have 10k users.

        1. I fixed it, can you please try the development version and let me know?

    I didnt see it in the documentation but is there a way to add a class to the WordPress Fields? I would like to be able to change the id of “cimy_uef_wp_p_field_1″ to add a class to that property.

    Thanks for the help!

    1. No there is not.

  11. Shahriar says:

    i got error about picture field.
    “the field could not be empty” . but it is not empty and i chose a jpg file.
    where is the problem?
    thank you

    1. Maybe the file is refused for some reason, like too big?

  12. PS: WOW, io ho vissuto a Bologna 2 anni e la California è il mio sogno proibito!!!! Grande!

    If ya need a Worpdress bad-ass-guy in there….. I’ll do WHATEVER you want! :D :P (sul serio)

  13. Ti è arrivato questo commento!?

    Ciao Marco! Grande plugin :-)

    Devo mostrare in frontend i dati personalizzati inseriti dall’utente (faccio inserire un video youtube e altro).

    Hai fatto delle funzioni pronte o devo accedere direttamente al DB nella tabella wp_uef_datav?

    Sarebbe stato figo nella tabella degli user meta così da accedervi con un semplice user_info->cimy_uef_4

    Grazie del contributo!! :)

    1. Lo so, mi ripeto di cambiare, ma non ho mai il tempo. Per ora ti devi leggere la documentazione e usare le mie funzioni.

  15. chintan says:

    hey Marco Cimmino

    i install successfully CUEF plugin but i want to register user on front and like a sign up like on front end user click an fill all given field..how is possible plz help me.

    1. You mean you do not want to have the classic WordPress registration page? You can use Theme My Login plugin then.

  16. Alex Sean says:

    I have an interesting situation. We have two different registration forms depending on how they arrive at our site. For one we want the email confirmation turned on and for the other we want it turned off. Basically a quick registration with no confirmation and a full registration with confirmation.

    I have it selected on the options page then on the page that we want it turned off I am using $options = cimy_get_options() and setting $options["confirm_email"] to false. When I do a var_dump of $options it shows that it is set to false but I get a 500 error when I submit the form.

    Added to the mix is the fact that we are using Theme My Login to customize the login forms. I am not really sure how or if it is affecting what I am trying to do.

    Do you know of a way to do what I am trying to do?

    Thanks for your time,
    Alex

    1. You cannot change the options like that and multiple behaviour is not supported.

      1. Alex Sean says:

        Thanks for the quick response! I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my question.

        I understand multiple behavior isn’t supported. I am looking for a hack to either change the settings for a specific page or a way to automatically confirm the user when the form is submitted.

        Any hope for this?

        Thanks again.

        1. I should handle this in the url’s parameters I guess, but for now is not supported as I said.
          So there is no easy way to do what you want to do I think.

  17. Hi,

    I have a custom (front end) registration page. Is there any way I can use your extra fields in the front-end page I created for registration purpose?

    thanks
