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!

sorry, I just checked php version and it’s 4, not 5
Marco,
I am not sure if this falls within the issues related to WP 3.0, but thought I would share.
When I create a drop-down, the “Value” field is not displayed. Here is the configured field: http://i.imgur.com/nunZy.jpg
When I open the page, this is how it is displayed: http://i.imgur.com/x4uhy.jpg
For Text boxes, it works fine.
I am running:
CUEF: 1.5.3
WP: 3.0
MySQL: 5
PHP 5.2.8
Apache: I believe it is 2 – My provider does not display this.
Please let me know if there is anything I can help more with in terms of troubleshooting this.
Thanks!
Bob
Sorry for the additional post, more troubleshooting information: the Label information is not being included, as you can see form this HTML snippet: http://imgur.com/H2igz.jpg.
Hi Cimy,
Can we get all users that have a specific value for more than 1 extra field? For example, doing something like:
$values = get_cimyFieldValue(false, field_name1, field_value1, field_name2, field_value2);
Many thanks in advance, and congratulations for your good work.
Olivier
Hardy:
Add a description!
Marcelo:
Yes, download Cimy User Manager and make a donation!
iosh:
Eh?
Jim:
I guess you are talking about the Cimy_User_Extra_Fields subdir to store pics/files? Seems a good idea indeed.
Bob:
Value field is meant to pre-fill dropdown with a value that should exists, not with a custom value, see also known issues under readme file.
Olivier:
Yes my name is Marco Cimmino, not Cimy, that is just a name for the plugins.
And yes you can but for 1 or for ALL, not for SOME of them… and NO you can’t pass randomly parameters as you wish, please check all possibilities under readme file.
I discovered a bug and wanted to put it out here in case someone else has had the same issue and figured out the solution. When searching the user database from the A&U Extended menu the search works as it is supposed to if I am using Chrome, Firefox or Safari (as long as the users per page is set to a number >= to the number of users in the database). However, with my least favorite browser, Internet Explorer, the search only works for WP fields. In other words you cannot search the CUEF fields using IE. When you click Apply or Search Users the result is as if you were clicking a clear or reset button. I don’t develop with IE, but the people I am putting this together for are die hard IE users. So, a workable solution is not as easy as saying use Chrome, Firefox or Safari then.
Marco, DUDE!!
1 year later today and I’m working on another website.. and once again needed your pluggin.. Its amazing how many new features you have added. If you didn’t exist I’m not sure the world would be spinning. Thank you for your amazing masterpiece.
Kurt
set_cimyFieldValue is one of the new features that looks promising for sure, but I can’t find any working examples on the web yet.
Can you provide a working example (code) so we can allow logged in users to select a label (dropdown) from within a custom page? Just need to allow logged in users the ability to modify their cimy profile from the front-end.
If I get this working I’ll post it up on my site and link to this thread for future googlers to find easier. Many many thanks
Kurt:
Thanks, readme file or online documentation is always the first place where to find examples.
Thanks Marco.. but I was really looking for real world working code examples a novice could implement.. examples like you have created for get_cimyFieldValue, that with little modification can be used in a template page.
I’ll keep trying and if I get it working will post what I have done.
Take care
Thanks Marc for the fix. Commenting out the form tags on the admin page did the trick. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. But, once again .. thanks.
Skyline:
Was a <form> tag opened inside another <form> tag, IE didn’t like it and probably is not even allowed, anyway easy fix, 2 lines of code removed
This fix will be in 2.0.0 beta1 upcoming version.
Whoops …. it looks like I was in a hurry when I posted …. FWIW, it should have been thanks Marco … not thanks Marc … at least I didn’t say thanks Cimy …
My name is Tom … but don’t like to have someone address me as Tim or Matt or someone else’s name … so, no slight intended there … thanks again Marco for the fix.
Hi Marco, my family originally comes form Tallinn. I was there a few years ago for a quick visit. I now live in Hong Kong.
I have not been able to get your plug-in to work on WP Multi Site Ver. 3.0.1 using CUEF ver. 1.5.3 but I expect once you have the update that your plug-in will be amazing.
I hope this helps:
I installed the plugin folder to here: /wp-content/mu-plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields and then move c.
I think this is correct as per your WPMU instructions.
I’ve posted the error message I am getting below in the hope that this assists you somehow in the development of a WP 3 compatible version.
Kind regards,
Ralf

Dear Marco, I an not associated with the website below so I am making this recommendation with no personal attachment.
Have a look at the link below. Perhaps you may want to list your plugin on this website:
http://wpplugins.com/plugin-authors/
kind regards,
Ralf
Ralf:
Read the comments, is under development. Want to speed this? You are all welcome to donate.
Hi Marco,
You did not read my comments.
I wrote that once you have updated that it will be amazing.
And I sent you my error massage only in the hope that it would assist you.
Then I sent you a link to a website where I think you can make GOOD money with your plugin instead of giving it away for free.
I would be very happy to purchase your plug-in for example EURO 50 plus a monthly update license of say 5 Euro each month.
Maybe 500 other people would pay the same per year.
That’s 25,000 EURO per year plus monthly recurring income
Nobody is going to use your plug-in unless they have a really good use for it.
So paying you EURO 50 is much cheaper than having it custom built and gives you, the developer, the incentive to keep it up to date.
Hope this helps,
Ralf
FYI:
So you know what you are offering:

Ralf:
I think I have looked at the site once and I decided to leave everything open-source and free. But you are more than welcome to donate money, for sure will motivate me
Thank you!
To fix the plug-in in WP 3.0.1 using multisite (formerly MU), simply edit the cimy_user_extra_fields.php file and add this line immediately after the comments (line 37):
$wpmu_version = ’3.0.1′;
or whatever version of WP you’re using.
If you’re upgrading from an existing 2.9.x WPMU installation, you may have the same problem I did – all of my data disappeared! Turns out I had been using 1.4.0, and the plugins’ database tables were wp_cimy_uef_data, wp_cimy_uef_fields, and wp_cimy_uef_wp_fields. All I had to do was rename those tables to cimy_uef_data, cimy_uef_fields, and cimy_uef_wp_fields, and I was back in business.
Thanks for a great plugin, btw!
Hi Chris, tired your suggested fix with WP MU/S 3.0.1 but I’m getting this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/grandsun/public_html/wp-content/mu-plugins/cimy_user_extra_fields.php on line 37
Marco, I’ll surely send you a donation for your work should I be able to use your plug-in.
Your work should be rewarded for sure.
Kind regards,
Ralf
Hi Marco,
I just sent you 50 Euro.
Thanks for your effort.
Best,
Ralf
Hello,
how do you recommend resizing the textarea-rich to a workable size? It shows up just one line high, which is covered by a horizontal scrollbar that appears when I enter some content.
Best,
Tom
Some more details: I tried to add
height : 800,
width : 800,
to tinyMCE.init in cimy_uef_init_mce.php
But that messes things up.
Not I just notices that the line
content_css : “http://140.116.220.134/caadria_pgsc2011/wp-includes/js/tinymce/wordpress.css”
Seems to be pointing to a css file that does not exist (I checked my WP3.0.1 zip archive – its not there either).
Thanks a lot,
Tom
Tom:
Single or MultiSite configuration?
Single
Tom:
Anyway as you can read from previous comments WP 3.0 is not yet supported.
Hi, how can I add a single field with multiple checkboxes?
The functionality should be exactly the same as ‘dropdown-multi’, but with checkboxes instead of a multi-dropdown list.
Thank you!
sergio:
It is not possible.
Ciao Marco,
Ho riscontrato un problema con il tuo plugin, non riesco a effettuare l’upload, la cartella è stata creata ed ha i permessi 777, sai a cosa può essere dovuto?
Ti ringrazio in anticipo.
Mauro Mandracchia:
Se non leggi le FAQ e non mi dai altre info di certo non posso indovinarlo.
In particolare tra le altre info richieste devi controllare errori JavaScript nella console: su Firefox la apri con: CTRL+SHIFT+J
Grazie Marco per la celere risposta,
ho controllato gli errori JS, sia che con il debuger di Firefox (ctrl+shift+j per capirci), che con FireBug, entrambi non hanno comunicato nessun errore JS, la cosa che ho notato è che nel caricamento file c’è un evento onchange.
Il caricamento del file avviene durante la selezione del file?
Vi è un evento DOM? Segnala in qualche maniera che sta effettuando l’upload o devo cliccare “Registra” o “Aggiorna Profilo” per effettuare l’upload.
Intanto ho impostato i permessi 777 a tutta la cartella del plugin più quella dell’upload, ora spulcio il file js che upload_file.js
A me rimane soltanto il classico pulsante per sfogliare e selezionare i file.
Mauro Mandracchia:
Guarda finche’ non leggi le FAQ e non provvedi con le altre info non posso risponderti. Le FAQ le trovi in questa stessa pagina o nel README file.
naturalmente il file upload_file.js è solo un file di controllo estensione. Da dove si effettua l’upload dei file?
Scusa se sono stato sgarbato, e non ho letto prima le info.
Comunque la mia configurazione è:
Un server dedicato con Linux CentOS 5
MySQL versione: 5.1.50-1.el5.art
PHP versione: 5.2.14
WordPress versione: 3.0.1
Plugin versione: 1.5.3
Grazie mille per la pasienza.
Mauro Mandracchia:
Come scritto decine di volte in questi commenti WP 3.0.x non e’ ancora supportato.
Va bene, allora approfitto per farti i complimenti dell’ottimo plugin che hai prodotto, cercherò magari di trovare una soluzione alternativa.
Ma tu sei ancora in estonia a lavorare?
Ti ringrazio della pasienza e ti offro una birra virtualmente, anche se magari la prossima volta che passi per l’italia si può fare anche di persona.
A presto Mauro.
PS: Proverò a mettere mano al codice per vedere di renderlo compatibile a seconda delle mie esigenze con la versione 3.0.x però non garantisco niente. A me serviva la possibilità di allegare un curriculum quindi quasi quasi sto pensando di crearmi un plugin dedicato solo a questa funzione.
Mauro Mandracchia:
La nuova versione e’ quasi pronta, dovrebbe uscire a giorni. Per la birra certo, fai pure.
Prossima volta che sono in Italia non lo so
I’m trying to use the plugin to output user data in my header.php file. My syntax is $salesdbAccessLevel = get_cimyFieldValue($loggedInUser, ‘ACCESSLEVEL’);
$loggedInUser is successfully pulling the currently logged in username, but the ACCESSLEVEL field data is not being pulled into the page. No errors are present. Is there something I’m missing?
Warren:
That you need the user_id not username, as written in the readme file.
$loggedInUser is defined as the user that is logged into wordpress, the user name they enter to gain access to the wordpress backend. This isn’t what I should be using?
Thank you for this great plugin!
I want to know what code to display name and avatar (field: AVATAR) for all users.
I´m using ExecPHP to display those info iin pages.
Another question/suggestion:
Is there some way to expost/import fields I created? SOmetimes people crash-test plugin in offline installs before tryin it in real site.
Diana:
First place to start with is README_OFFICIAL file or documentation on this website.
For import/export there Cimy User Manager plugin, created by me as well, look on top/left of this page for the link.
