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:
- at line 773, after “global $wpdb, $wp_query;” add this:
global $errors; - at line 811, before “if ( 0 == count($errors) ) {” add this:
do_action(‘register_post’); - 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 Manager – http://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!

Uli:
plug-in adds extra fields to registration and to user’s profile, that it.
I have a real need to export extra field data out of WordPress. Any word on export capabilities within CIMY UEF? I currently don’t use the CIMY plugin, but would move to it in a heartbeat if it had dead-simple dumps to CSV files. I need something that a non-technical administrator can use to pull information out for stat review (in Excel) and to build an offline mailing list (as in snail mail and not email).
Brian
Brian:
yes a new plug-in is coming up with import/export to csv.
Stay tuned.
Thanks for this amazing plugin – I’m loving it! However, I’m having an issue with the “equal_to rule” and also the “Can be empty” field. Registration is possible even though I’ve set a password, with the “equal_to” rule set and also the “Can be empy” box unchecked. I’ve searched everywhere for a solution without luck. There are no warnings when leaving the password field empty or typing a wrong password – just the “Registration succesfull” message.
Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks in advance.

Jesper:
If you have PHP4 this is a known bug in WordPres reported here many times. I won’t fix as PHP4 is dead, please update it.
Thank you for the quick support, Marco! I’m running PHP4 so I’ll guess that’s the issue. Amazing that I couldn’t find the post then, I’ve searched for like 2 hours, LOL! But thanks!
Jesper:
to be honest readme file also says minimum req is PHP5 so seems you didn’t search so deeply.
Hi Marco,
Is there a way to display the custom fields we collect from registration on the “manage users” page? Like I collect the country name, and wish that too to display as a column in the “manage users” page.
Thanks
icubyx:
Which “manage users” page you are referring to? There is A&U Extended page what you need also?
Hi,
Ah yes! But now when I see it the A&U Extended list, I also see the Country drop-down and text field for City in the table header…why is that so?
Also wondering if there is a way to filter the users by their country to send them emails
Thanks
actually the appearance of the Country drop-down in the A&U extended list gave me the last idea.
icubyx:
yes you just need to use it
But there is something on the A&U extended page that I can’t understand. Just below the Country header, I also see a drop-down with the whole country list and with the City header, I see a text-field (as I specified for the registration page). Why do they appear? Is that a bug, intended feature or something I am doing wrong? I have the latest plugin version with WP2.7.1
Thanks
icubyx:
there are filters for every single extra fields, set it and hit search users.
Hi
Sorry to bug you like this, but when is the version that can export to CSV expected? I was planning to integrate it with PHPlist..
Thanks
icubyx:
You think people work for free for you?
I do NOT plan anything for free, I do it in my free time and my free time is still under my privacy policy.
If you want to speed up make a donation, otherwise be patient!
Thanks!
Hi,
You seem to be offended. I just asked if you had a date in mind, since in your reply to Brian, you wrote “stay tuned” . I’m not demanding to know.
By the way does the above comment also include bug-fixing?
icubyx:
of course I’m offended, because as happened here in the past there seems to be quite arrogant people that don’t want to donate and then expect dates, think that even payed I do not give dates, imagine for free? Read FAQ at the question: “When feature XYZ will be added?”
It is there for a reason!
hi!
I still got blank pages after activate, I check php.ini and the memory limit is 32mb, what else can be??
Dario:
read FAQ and provide information required.
I’m using the latest, with wpmu 2.7.1
If it only shows the word, “Array” what most likely to be missing? The function I’m trying is:
takuya:
???
Hi. Is it possible to use the “value” field to create a calculation for a field? Or is there another way?
For instance, if I’ve added fields called Apples_weight and oranges_weight and want to show the difference between the two in another field, is there a way to add the calculation for $apples_weight-$oranges_weight ?
Amanda:
Adding where? You can do it in your theme using get_cimyFieldValue function but is not possible on user’s profile.
I’d like to see it in the A&U table.
here’s how we actually want to use it: here are our additional fields:
starting_weight
week_1
week_2
week_3
(you get the idea)
for each week, we’d like to show the percentage of weight lost and the lbs lost. Simple calculations really, just don’t know where to input it. I think you’re saying we would need to the edit the file that holds the A&U table using get_cimyFieldValue to add in extra fields. Is that correct?
Is this something you’d be willing to do privately, and what would the cost or donation be?
(by the way, thanks. LOVE this plugin and am totally impressed by how fast you answer.)
Hi!
Plugin version: 1.4.0
Wordpress mu version: 2.7.1
PHP version: 5.2.9
MySQL: 5.1.33
Question:
Added an extra field with a regexp validation. It works like a charm when using the user signup form. However, it seems like the validation is not invoked when editing user info in the admin gui. I dont know if this is to be considered as a bug or not?
Whatever I put in the extra fields created with this plugin, the output returns just “array.” Do you have any other function, so that this plugin can work even without wordpress loop?
Erik:
maybe you can consider reading KNOWN ISSUES under README file.
takuya:
I think you also need to read README file carefully and understand what Arrays are in PHP.
My UEF version: 1.4
PHP5, Mysql5
I need to de more refined searchs in my users database, but I dont figure out how it is designed.
I see 3 tables:
1 – cimy_uef_data
2 – cimy_uef_fields
3 – cimy_uf_wp_fields
At the table 1, the field ID refers to a unique number for each user for cimy_uef – isnt the same number of user for WordPress (user_id), is it correct??
Ok, I need to search for users that have some especifics values in some especifics fields (different than the exemple using getCimyValue at the readme file, 1 especific value for 1 especific field, I need several fields.)
I discard use A&U advanced cause doens´t works like desired.
How I can make this searchs?
thanks,
Julio
I discover an issue that isn´t listed at the readme file:
When you have more users than the “users per page” list, the A&U advanced only filter the users from that page.
Ex. I have 1900 users. If I filter by a especific field and is set to list 500 users per page, will filter only this 500 first users, and is it page by page.
I imagine when I will have more than 5000 users, I will have to make my searchs page by page… 10 pages!
Is that a way to I fix it by myself?
thanks, Julio
Julio:
1. just leave false the user_id parameter, isn’t that understandable?
2. I can put “All” settings where it shows all users at once.
ok, I made it on my way, it´s working.
thanks
Hi Marco,
Is there a way to make fields required? I thought un-checking the “Can be empty” box would mean it can not be empty and is therefore required. That does not seem to work though.
Thanks
John Nasta:
Do you have PHP4? If yes then no rules are applied, I will put it in the known issues because seems nobody reads requirements.
PHP: 5.2.9
MySQL: 5.0.75
Wordpress: 2.7.1
Plugin: 1.4.0
I’ve gone through the registration process twice trying to add a picture field, but without success. I have tried updating my profile and it doesn’t load a photo in either. I have checked the database and there is nothing stored in the field. I saw in a previous comment that someone had a problem if the file had a space in the filename, so I tried with and without it, with the same results. How is this part of the plugin supposed to work? Is there something that I am doing incorrectly?
Derek Perkins:
have you created the directory needed?
Thanks for the response. I hadn’t created the directory. There are multiple locations in the readme file that talk about the picture field, and I didn’t see all of them.
hello Marco!
thx for the nice plugin…
I have one question and its regarding the option registration-date
on the Options page it is stated:
registration-date: equal TO means date and time format
can you please give one example what exactly i have to write to get calendar (date) to work ?
do i have to check box Should be equal TO: and what should exactly write in the field to make it work?
thx! and sorry for this newbie question
oh yes im using last version of Cimy v1.40rc1 and WP-2.7.1
thx!
mario:
1, there is no need to post comment twice, I moderate them when I have time to.
2. 1.4.0-rc1 is NOT the latest version.
3. regarding the question, check this webpage for the convention:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php
thx Marco!
sorry for double post! it didnt reloaded at first so i didnt saw that post was actually there!
thx for the tip’s
bye… )
Ive finished a complete spanish translation I’d like to share. Where can I send you the files?? Write me an e-mail if you’re interested, Marco.
Many thanks for your great plugin!!
David:
cool, well send to my email, is written everywhere: readme file or any main plug-in page.
I am trying to make a custom registration page that fits with the look and feel of the rest of my site. Is there a function I can call to have the plugin automatically insert all the field information like it does on the standard registration page?
Derek Perkins:
yes just put this code:
< ?php do_action(’register_form’); ?>
Thanks, that worked fantastic. Is there a specific function I need to call to submit the form and save all the details?
Derek Perkins:
I guess you just need to call the form with the same name and same action attribute.
Excellent plugin! Is there a way to sort posts by using the user extra fields added by the plugin?
Cedric:
posts??
Let me explain: an author (= a user with extra fields) write a post. The idea is to retrieve the post of this author using one of its profile extra fields. Example: “Country” is an user extra field. Would it be possible to retrieve all the posts written by users which country is “United States”?
