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!

Rich Calzada:
I don’t know the answer, I need time to test it on WPMU so if you can wait well, otherwise make a donation.
I ended up modifying your code on my own. It turns out the Global variable that was being used for the tables was changing with the site so I skipped this and hardcoded the correct tables in a new custom function.
Thanks for a great plugin!

I uploaded a file to a user profile, how does that user retrieve that file?
Matt Henderson:
1. Please do NOT email me AND post a comment, because I got 2 emails and is just bothering me.
2. If you upload the file from their profile they can see in their profile too.
Hi, would you be able to help me create a user database similar to the one at http://www.bmea.org please? I tried emailing info@cimatti.it yesterday but no reply. Thanks
Hello Marco,
I really like your plugin, and I’m finding it quite useful. However, I am experiencing the following errors while deleting users fromWP Admin Panel=>Users:
Warning: glob() [function.glob]: Unable to access /misc/40/000/181/392/2/user/web/tebp.org/wp-content/Cimy_User_Extra_Fields/FranK in /misc/40/000/181/392/2/user/web/tebp.org/wp-content/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/cimy_uef_db.php on line 294

Since I installed this plugin a while ago, made a lot of changes since then and just discovered this pb, I can’t confirm if I had the issue from the beginning or not. I checked for potential plugin incompatibility with other plugins installed and couldn’t find anything suspicious. I also read the readme file I noticed a similar error while deleting users is mentioned in early 2009, but it is marked as solved.
What I can tell you that might be of help, is that I played with file permissions recently on my FTP and I’m also getting the error:
“wp-content/Cimy_User_Extra_Fields/ is NOT created or webserver does NOT have permission to write on it”.
This is not a big deal since I don’t use that feature, but maybe it is related to the first issue.
Thanks in advanced for all your help. Best!
Is it possible to have the extra fields NOT show up on the new user registration form but only on the user’s profile?
Marventus:
You said you read the README file, but you might have missed the FAQ unluckily, as you do not provide enough info.
Matt Henderson:
Yes, look at every extra field option and to README file before posting.
Marco,
Here’s the info:
WP: 2.9.2,
plugin: 1.5.3
MySQL: 5.0
PHP: 5.0 or above for sure (could be 6.0, because I was sent an email by my hosting plan announcing the migration to 6.0 but don’t know if it was done or not).
Thanks!
Marventus:
If you give permissions to write to “wp-content/Cimy_User_Extra_Fields/” fixes the issue?
Hi Marco,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I don’t have a “Cimy_User_Extra_Fields” folder in wp-content. I do have, of course, the plugin folder called “cimy-user-extra-fields” inside “wp-content/plugins.” I’ll try creating a “Cimy_User_Extra_Fields” inside wp-content manually and give it write permissions see if it fixes the issue, and I’ll let you know.
Follow up:
So that fixed the issue: thank you so much! Just one question: could you tell me what the plugin uses the “Cimy_User_Extra_Fields” folder for? I would like to understand how it works a little better. If this info is already available somewhere else, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks again!
Marventus:
That dir is used to store files and images uploaded using file/avatar/picture extra fields.
There is a bug seems so if you delete an user that had in the past one of these fields filed but the directory is not there anymore, is that the case? I need to fix it.
Hi Marco, I found something a bit strange – I have a test site, on which I’m staging some changes to the “real” site, with “pretty permalinks” and I discovered that once a language is selected for WP (in wp-config.php) you can’t switch back to the English version – i.e. giving the value define (‘WPLANG’, ”); in wp-config.php because the CUEF admin page goes blank… Weird, but true.Only if “ugly links” are enabled (Settings > Permalinks) can one see the CUEF settings page again.
Is the language somehow taken into account? Very strange that it ONLY happens when one switches to another language FROM English; once in that other language, you can’t switch back to English with permalinks on…
Just found a work-around, not immediately obvious but very logical and it works: set define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’); and it works again. You just can’t leave it blank, i.e. undefined, once you’ve given it a value it has to have a value, no matter what language you change it into.
Álvaro Degives-Más:
1. Some strings are translated by my plug-in some by WordPress so that’s why you see mixed
2. Browser and/or WordPress might have cached the strings, so changing the browser or accessing with another user might fixes the issue.
Well that’s embarrassing… You’re right – it’s a browser caching issue. Once the browser cache is cleared the CUEF settings page shows up normally again, in the expected language. Sorry!
You think in a future CUEF edition you could add a “hide” option for all the other “default” WP profile fields, i.e. bio, website, etc. so they don’t show up in the profile, either? I really love how you made CUEF to finetune where exactly you want your CUEF fields showing up… Sadly, the standard WP profile fields are a… mess to switch off.
Álvaro Degives-Más:
Not possible due to WordPress limitation.
Hi Marco,
I had not uploaded any avatar images for any of my users, but perhaps the plugin checks their existence by default inside the folder, and when no images were uploaded (thus no folder created) the error occurs. That’s the best explanation I could find,
Good luck, and thanks again for your help.
“Cimy User Extra Fields is not compatible with “Themed Login”, how can I do?”
By “Themed Login” do you mean the “Theme my login” plugin? I have tried the two plugin, but they did not work together.
Does it mean that Theme my login and your plugin are still incompatible?
Marventus:
PHP 5.2.4 bug, upgrade to a newer version or create the dir workarounds it.
Bence:
No, Theme my login is a different plugin, I have no idea if works or not.
Hi,
Wordpress 3.0 has a wp_login_form(),which provides a simple login form for use anywhere: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_login_form
Will your plugin support this? I would like to diplay the login form AND the extra fields anywhere with wp_login_form(), is it possible?
It would be a very useful feature. How else could I display the login form with the extra fields inside a page/post? Right now we need the Theme my login plugin, but if I am not mistaken, I could omit this plugin because of wp_login_form().
Bence:
Ah yes good idea.
Edit:
I was going to implement this but I had a WTF moment: what has to do the login form with the registration form? Answer: nothing. So please rephrase.
Hi Marco!
I “bumped” into another issue with the plugin…
When I try to use a ‘dropdown’ field, I’m getting the values for the dropdown from the ‘Label’ instead of getting them from ‘Value’.
This is really weird… No???
What happens is whatever value I put on the ‘Value’ is not showing and whatever value I put in the ‘Label’ is being shown as the value for the dropdown. No label is being printed inside the element.
Cheers!

Bruno
Bruno Pinho:
Yea maybe if you would have read the readme file wouldn’t be such a surprise.
Marco…
I read the readme… [NOTE 4]
I just think it’s kind o weird not having the label…
Thanks.
Cheers!
==
Bruno
Bruno Pinho:
Bruno the value is meant only to preselect an already existing value specified in the label.
As said in the known issues list under README file: dropdown custom values are NOT supported.
Ok Marco…
I’ll try to find my way to have that working.
If I get it right I’ll let you know.
After all thats what opensource is all about.
Cheers!

Hey Marco, nice plugin you’ve made, it’s really, really good, compared to the other plugins I’ve seen with similar functionalities.
However, I’d like to point out the need of a custom outgoing mail functionality, it’s the only thing that’s lacking of it. I’ve tried to use alternative plugins which provide this function (similar to what Register Plus does), but they all make conflict with Cimy and simply don’t work, the regular mail gets sent. So yeah, if you can implement that in future releases, it’ll be the best thing ever. Thanks either way.
AntaresMHD:
Yes sure, make a donation and I’ll do it.
Hi there,
Amazing plugin! I have been looking for something like this for a long time now.
Quick Question – I would like to use the custom fields that I’ve created for the User (like Twitter handle, avatar, etc) in my template file – ie showing the image and info of the author under their post. How do I access this information?
Thank you, K
Kari:
You may want to start reading readme_official file.
A suggestion for a feature.
Currently everyone who registers at WP gets assigned the default user role. It will be great to be able to add a drop down of selected roles in the registration form and let the user choose one. The roles will of course have to be renamed for the front end.
This can be a very useful feature especially as I have not been able to find a plugin for it. And it makes sense to be a part of this plugin.
I know even if you decide to add this functionality, it can take forever.
So if I hire you to do this on behalf of a client, how much will it cost them?
hi i am using this plugin and it works fine thanks for devloping such a useful plugin , i have a problem , i have more than one users of diffrent role so is it possible to have some fields required for any role like ‘author’ but not required for other user when he make changes in his profile like ‘contributor’.please let me know if it is possible thanks
aman:
No is not possible.
Hi, thanks for the great plugin!
How do you use rules on checkbox type? I want to verify if user has checked the checkbox to accept registration
thanks
Paul
Hey Marco, the plugin stopped working for WP 3.0, there’s some hardcoded paths that prevent it from working properly. I haven’t been able to use it since I upgraded a week ago. I half-managed to make it work again, but now the options don’t appear where it should (I’m using the Unique Registration setting), they appear as if I’m using Per Blog registration and all the previous registrations and fields are overlooked.
Also, now that we’re here, the email that should be sent after every register isn’t working either, but that problem has been happening from before I was in 3.0 (I was using 2.9.2), and since I can’t really perform any tests right now with it, I believe it’s still broken. Nothing on my error_logs either that could indicate a PHP problem or something, and I’ve deactivated my plugins to see which one could be causing a conflict, still nothing.
paul:
Put value=YES
AntaresMHD:
Yes I have a small patch for it that is already in v1.6.0 under development, however I might think of backporting to v1.5.x branch.
The email sent is not due to my plugin I think, check your provider/server.
Hey Marco-
Just discovered CUEF a few days ago and love it! Great work! However, I began getting the following fatal error after upgrading to WP 3.0:
wp-admin/includes/user.php:382:Call to undefined function _wp_get_user_contactmethods()
This error occurs only when I try to delete a user from within a plugin called WishList Member AND CUEF is activated. If CUEF is not activated at the time I try to delete the user, no error occurs. Also, the error does not occur if I delete the user from within the WP dashboard.
I understand CUEF v1.5.3 is compatible up to WP 2.9.2 but was wondering whether there’s an easy fix for this particular issue. Any advice or suggestions?
Here are the particulars of my installation:
CUEF v1.5.3
WP v3.0
mySQL v5.1.47
PHP v5.2.13
Thanks again for a great plugin.
Best,
Karl
Karl:
Thanks for the detailed reporting, and yes the plug-in is not fully working with WP 3.0 yet, especially for Multi-Sites support, I’m fixing bugs, but takes time, a 2.0.0-beta1 of the plug-in will be launched end of this month for WP 3.0 only!
You are welcome to donate money for the big amount of work I’m doing (and I have done so far)
Hey Marco-
Just made a little donation to the Marco beer/wine fund. Hopefully that will keep the inspiration flowing. Thanks again for your work–looking forward to seeing how v2.0.0 looks!
I noticed a comment above re: a development in WP3.0 that may make Theme-My-Profile or Theme-My-Login unnecessary for the purposes of creating a user profile page that’s consistent with a site’s theme. Is this something you anticipate happening at some point? Not to trying to nail you down on any feature/function enhancements ( I do understand the time/money constraints)–just curious if you see things evolving in that direction…
Best,
Karl
Karl:
Thanks, upcoming features for 2.0.0-beta1:
1. reCAPTCHA support
2. password confirmation
3. password strength meter
4. email validation
5. WordPress 3.0 support
6. Bugfixes here and there
Hi Marco-
Sounds great-looking forward to seeing it!
Best,
Karl
Hi, great plugin, very useful. Just one very simple question which I could not answer up to now: How do I get some free text _above_ all the fields, for instance, to explain the user why he should do all that? In your screenshot, there is some text visible – that’s what I mean.
Thanx a lot in advance!
Hello Marco! I love this plugin, it is probably the most important for my whole site.
One doubt I have is: there is any way to export data from the users? Like to create an excel file with all common and extra fields?
Thanks man,
how to add another section title?
Forcing world-write file permissions (chmod 777) is a bad thing, especially when you run more than one blog.
An easy option would be to just leave the chmod out – but I realize that might break things for certain hosting environments. (including mine actually)
Adding an option might be no big deal, but I think it could be even easier. Is there any reason not to use the built-in constants FS_CHMOD_DIR and FS_CHMOD_FILE ?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php
the validation rules that I set for each fields don’t have any effect
how czn I fix this?
thanks
actually it only ignores the rules on creation, but when I update a profile, then the validation rules are triggered
