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?
A: 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
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: Indeed, but for multiple choices dropdown?
A: This feature is not supported at the moment.
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.
Q: I’m using your plug-in on WordPress MU per-blog installation, I’m registering users on one blog but they appear on the main blog too, why?
A: Because WordPress MU 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: 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 reach Cimy User Extra Fields, 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!

Cedric:
yes you can do whatever you wish, but you need to implement a search engine to do these combined searches.
I can develop for you of course, but not for free, as out of scope on this plug-in.
Marco:
Thanks for your response. It could be useful for one of my project. I will email you for a quote as soon as I know more from my client.
Hi Marco,
First, thank you for an excellent and very useful plugin. It could be the way I’m using your plugin or an actual bug, but the function:
add_filter('get_avatar', 'cimy_uef_avatar_filter', 1, 5);
on line 490 in cimy_user_extra_fields.php will generate one query for every (!) user comment in a post. Since I don’t use the avatar field (but ‘picture’) I simply disabled that line and all is well now, but on some of our popular articles there’s over 100+ comments and thus over 100+ queries like (info from plugin WP-Tuner):
SELECT ID,VALUE FROM wp_cimy_uef_fields WHERE TYPE='avatar' LIMIT 1
[wp-content/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/cimy_user_extra_fields.php(496): wpdb->get_results()]
Maybe you could take a look?
Jean-Paul Horn:
yes I know, but modern blogs have paged comments, that are supported natively on WP 2.7.x or greater, so I suggest you to do that.
Secondly:
I didn’t get the issue: speed issue? Error issue? What is your concern?
bug-report (wp 2.8) “users extended” doesn´t show any users if you try to switch to displaying more than the standard amount of users per page
h:
please read FAQ on how to report a bug, cannot reproduce with v1.4.0
Hi Marco,
Thanks for all the work on this plug-in!
I’m having trouble removing the default fields from the user profiles. I would like to have it so that the “biographical information” and the “first name” and “last name” fields don’t appear in either the registration or the profile.
The reason is I’m building a kids educational site. I would like the kids to be able to register to take part in contests, etc., but I don’t want there to be any personal information for security reasons.
I have tried in the admin panel to turn off these fields by un-checking the appropriate boxes, but when I register a test user, those fields continue to be shown in the profile.
Thanks again.
Alan
I forgot to mention I’m using wp 2.7.1 and the latest version of the plug-in. I think that it’s probably not a bug, but rather my not being sure how to work that option in the admin panel.
Also, if you would be so kind as to reply to my above email, I have a question about getting a quote on a small, related development project. Thanks!
Alan:
These fields under profile are not under control by plug-ins, so can’t do anything about them.
Hi Marco,
Wow thanks for the fast response! Is there a hack to get rid of them without a plug-in? Again, I may have a development project to discuss with you.
A
Alan:
there is, but you need to modify WordPress code and of course doing it every time you update your WordPress copy.
For every other request use my email, is everywhere:
- readme file
- main page of every plug-in
Hello! Thanks for great plugin! It’s deffinetly that’s what I want. But I can’t set up regular expression. For example, I want create extra-field “mobile phone” with 11 digits. I tried:
a) Check “regular expression” and set equal TO: ^[0-9]$
b) same and ^\d{11}$
c…e) with ^…$ and without,
But it still not working, any number isn’t correct. What’s wrong?
Thanks!
Alex Maltsev:
you might have to write:
/^\d{11}$/
Oh! Thank you!
I am trying to replace the picture uploader with a way for the user to upload a pdf.
I have changed the png file extension to pdf in the upload javascript file, and I dont get the file type error anymore but it wont upload the pdf. What other files do I need to change to make this possible.
I have created and set the correct permissions for the Cimy_User_Extra_Fields folder, and it does write a jpeg correctly.
jrb:
version 1.5.0 will have support for uploading every kind of file, thanks for waiting.
I can find a contact email on here, but if you can give me a quote for a pdf alteration to the plugin that would be great. jb [at] rubbersunset dot com
Am I stoopid or something, havn’t a clue how to use the radio field to create a simple Sex – Male or Female option!?
Leon:
use same name as written exactly on top of the add field area.
I’d like to talk with you about some custom plugin work – an extension of your ‘user extra fields’ plugin. Please contact me at your convenience.
Hi, can you give me advise how can I add capthca support to registration form?
I found answer to my question. Your plugin work perfect with SI CAPTCHA (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/)
I’m trying to create a “Terms and Condition” field which has to be accepted for registration. I created a textarea field where the text is in the field value and the modify-drop-down is set to “cannot be modified”. In the user’s profile the field is correctly read-only but within the registration page you can modify the fieldtext ?!
Then I have a checkbox to accept the T&C wich is set to “can be modified only if empty” but in the user’s profile you can set and unset the field.
Is this a problem with WPMU 2.8.1 ?
Uwe:
Since a checkbox CANNOT be empty you can understand why this rules isn’t applied for checkboxes.
Hi Marco,
I’d like to talk to you about your rates for a small project but couldn’t find your personal e-mail address, please write me back and i’ll get back to you.
Thanks
Marco:
O.K. understood.
What’s about the textarea that can be changed within the registration allthoug it’s set to “cannot be modified” ?
Could you reproduce this ?
Uwe:
I guess you never read README file, if you spend 10 mins of your time you can read:
Rules are:
[...]
* field can be empty
[only for text, textarea, textarea-rich, password, picture, picture-url, dropdown, avatar]
[...]
* field can be modified after the registration
[only for text, textarea, textarea-rich, password, picture, picture-url, checkbox, radio, dropdown, avatar]
[for radio and checkbox 'edit_only_if_empty' has no effects and 'edit_only_by_admin_or_if_empty' has the same effect as edit_only_by_admin]
if you want to not modify a field during registration just hide it!
Marco:
I read the readme. I misunderstood the setting “cannot be modified” – my fault!
Is there a way to create a disclaimer which have to be accepted by checkbox?
If not it would be great to get some settings to set a textarea as “read-only” and to define the height and width to display.
Uwe:
just set the rule ‘Equal TO’ to ‘YES’ for this checkbox field and you have done what you need.
Marco:
?
That’s clear for the checkbox but my problem is how to display the disclaimer text without to change PHP-code?
Am I to blind to see what’s obvious
The problem is to show the disclaimer text without a way to change it.
May I’m not ready to use WP…
Uwe:
I think I do not understand why i s not clear.
Create a checkbox with your disclaimer text into the DESCRIPTION then set the rule ‘equal to’ to YES.
Is it so difficult?
Marco:
No, it’s so easy
That’s what I wanted. Why haven’t I seen that ?!
You’re great – thank you!!!
I realize this is a super newbie question but I cannot figure out how to get any fields to display on a web page.
I’m trying to display a member list, and show the phone number for members. The names and email are showing no problem (with szub.net all authors template).
What is the code for showing a custom field? I’ve read all the comments here, searched the web, spent hours pasting in and changing various formats of the readme file code. Every variation of this:
$values = get_cimyFieldValue(false, ‘PHONE’);
foreach ($values as $value) {
$user_id = $value['PHONE'];
echo $value['PHONE'];
echo cimy_uef_sanitize_content($value['PHONE']);
}
doesn’t show anything, or give an error.
I was hoping for something like user_url; ?>
Hint please!
csleh:
You read everything but I guess you didn’t read CASE 3 of the readme file that is what you need to use.
You substituted everything with ‘PHONE’ without realizing that you shouldn’t.
Hello,
first of all, thanks for your plugin, really great and usefull !
I used it with Thememylogin, and look works…
but there is something that looks not work : I created a avatar field, with a default value. So the users that register have a default picture.
There is a browse button just under to change the picture, but nothing happend. I would expect the new avatar picture will be loaded into …/wp-content/Cimy_User_Extra_Fields. So I chmod 777 the right on this directory, but still nothing happend… Have you any idea sir ?
I almost forget… Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) mod_jk2/2.0.4 mod_python/3.1.3 Python/2.3.5 PHP/4.3.10-22 mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.4
thank for your gracefull support.
Kind regards
MissK:
version of the plugin? Does the first string in the Cimy User Extra Fields Options says that the folder is writable?
Hello !
Here are the info :
Général
Cimy User Extra Fields v1.4.0
Picture/Avatar upload /var/www/vhosts/karineb.com/httpdocs/versatile-k/wp-content/Cimy_User_Extra_Fields/
is created and writable
so… is it serious doctor ?
Kind regards
MissK:
odd, can you try to using different browsers? Have you checked if you can upload small images?
Hello,
thanks for your support. The pictures loaded are small.
So, I created you a test account.
Contact me to get the password and the login, then you can test whatever you want. Because, all i tested doesn’t works.
Kind regards
Missak:
if small pictures are correctly uploaded then you setup a too low rule in the extra fields or your php.ini has upload limit too low.
no, the php limit is set to 2 Mo…
Contact me, and test your plug in in my environment !
Kind regards
I have added a feature to this plugin that I thought that I might share with everybody and maybe get it incorporated into the next release. I have added a filter ability so that you can filter what users will be able to see that particular field. In other words if you want your subscribers to only see some fields but your authors to see different ones, now you can.
I highlighted my code additions in the scripts so that you can see what I did.
The biggest limitation to this change is that you can only assign each field to one user level (or all of them) but you cannot choose to have a field for subscribers and authors at the same time. (you could do this by creating two fields to collect the same info – one for the subscriber, one for the author – but that is less than optimal)
Marco, I’d love to see this incorporated into your next release.
Hope this helps people out

Dan:
thanks Dan, I’m very busy atm, but I will see if I can work on it.
Maybe I’m missing something, but how can I change the column length of text input fields? For instance, if I have a zipcode field and a street address field, I only need the zipcode field to be a few characters long but the street address should be significantly more. It looks a bit strange to have everything the same length. Anything I can do?
Alex:
no, they are formatted exactly to look all the same, as is more elegant.
If you want something different hack the css file and you can do whatever you wish.
Thanks for your response. If I’m hacking the CSS I presume i’ll only be able to modify attributes based on text/textarea/dropdown etc. Or is there some way I can specify a style class for each field, presuming they are all text fields?
Alex:
using their id I guess you can do whatever you want for every single element.
Thank for this great plugin! I am starting to adopt for all WP -based project that my company is working on. I just don’t know how to create dropdown list with value that is different from the name indicated in Label. Can you show me how? Many thanks.
Jones Lee:
if you read in the readme file->known issues you will discover is not possible.
Marco,
Excuse me if this question has already been ask. I am wondering if there is a way to display all users and only several specific values.
For example if I have 10 custom fields but only want to display 5 of them how would I do this?
In the readme I see how to display all values or a specific value but not how to display several specific values.
Thanks
