Adding fields to registration form

Is there a way to add additional fields to the registration form and then have the member who is registering decide if they will be viewable or not (hidden/public).
These extra fields will then appear in the profiles and be searchable.
The only place on my site where a person has to be a member to participate is on the forums.
If I use a plugin to add add extra fields is that reflected in the wpforo forms as well? |

... Page URL to Forum Reset Password Page URL
It looks like there are multiple independent wpForo code paths for setting or changing a password and it doesn't seems that there is a unifying way to control password min and max pass length.
Example 1) -- User Account Change Password form:- The controlling code in this use case appears to be classes/Members.php public function init_fields():

$this->fields['user_pass'] = [

Seeking assistance solving new users not getting a confirmation emails on WP Multisite

Problem: When a new user registers through WPForo, they do not receive a confirmation/activation email.
I know this is a popular question, and I understand from what I have read, that this is potentially a WP config issue.I'm just hoping someone can give some assistance trying to fix or debug this issue.After 3 days of digging through forum posts, code, tables, the WP codex, etc, I have no idea what the problem may be.
My website is running Wordpress 5.6 MultiSite, WPForo 1.9.3, serving 2 domains (same content in 2 different languages - using Multisite Language Switcher to switch between the 2 sites/languages).
The table prefix for the main domain is "wp_", for the second domain this is "wp_2_".On MultiSite there is only one table for users, used by both domains.
I've tested this with 3 different email addresses - 3 different domains, none of them the same domain as the server domains.
Observation before activating (!) an account, which makes me think something is going wrong here;
- When signing up through WPForo, :
The user is added to the wp_users table even before activation. The user is not added to the wp_signups table (MultiSite specific table).No activation email for the new user send.
- When signing up with the WP native signup form (wp-signup.php):
The user is not added to the wp_users table.The user is however added to the wp_signups table.Proper activation email send for the new user. Only after clicking the activation link, the user will be added to wp_users.
I suspect this is a MultiSite specific issue, but that's just a guess based on digging through all the settings, tables, code, forum posts, etc. Maybe this could be related to the WP API calls versus the WPMU API calls to register a new user?
Things I have tested and tried on the main site, based on the How-To in this forum;
1. Check your Spam / Junk folder.
Email does not go to Junk mail.
2. Disable all other plugins and test it again.
This did not make a difference.
3. Make sure your server email sender works well. Make sure you receive emails from your WordPress (on registration or on other cases...). You can check it in Dashboard > Forums > tools > Debug > Errors & issues admin page.
No errors here, tables OK, no issues reported either.Users and Admins do receive WPForo emails (topic notifications, etc).
4. Install SMTP plugin. The new one is Post SMTP. Do a test email sending via Post SMTP.
Test email got send correctly, and the log shows all WPForo emails that do work (eg. subscription notifications, notifications for the admins, etc). However ... the new user confirmation emails are never listed in the log (like they were never asked to be send to begin with).
5. Some shared hosting services, or some Antispam plugins try to cache emails and those are not being sent immediately. You should wait 1-30 min (e.g.: on some GoDaddy hosting plans you receive emails in 45 min).
Waited 24 hours, still no confirmation emails for new users.
6. If you're using GMail Fetch services, go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import and click on "Check mail now" link to load all new comments from website email server.
Not using GMail Fetch Services.
7. Make sure the "Anyone Can Register" option is enabled in WordPress Settings > General page.
MultiSite does not have that option.On the main site, "Settings"->"Network Settings"->"User accounts may be registered" is enabled.Not sure if this is comparable to the "Anyone Can Register" option though.
8. Make sure the "Enable User registration email confirmation" option is enabled in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page.
This option is enabled. I've tested with this enabled, disabled and enabled again. Still no email for new users.
9. Disable wpForo and use the WordPress native registration form to test. The native registration form can be found with this URL.
I honestly did not even dare to do disable WPForo - being afraid I'd somehow damage the forum data and have to rebuild everything. However the native registration form does work (wp-signup.php).
Note: with "Replace registration Page URL to Forum registration Page URL" enabled in WPForo, the native registration form still works! |

Hi @alfred. Users can self-register (via email confirmation with a link to set a password) - if the setting is enabled. Or users can also be manually registered, in case the self registration is disabled.
You can find these settings on:
Forum Dashboard
Settings
Features
then scroll down to find the settings for
Enable User registration (that you can set to either YES or NO)
Enable User registration email confirmation (that you can set to either YES or NO)
Click UPDATE OPTIONS at the bottom of the page.
This is from wpForo Documentation on User registration:
User registrationEnable User registrationThis option is not synced with WordPress “Anyone can register” option in Dashboard > Settings > General admin page. If this option is enabled new users will always be able to register. If this option is disabled the default WordPress User registration form will still be available. But wpForo Register Menu and Register Page will be hidden.
Enable User registration email confirmationThis option switches wpForo user registration function to WordPress Email confirmation mode. Users only enter Username and Email on registration form. After clicking on submit button they receive Email with Password Generation link. Using this link users set a password thus confirm and finish registration process.
Hope this helps. Good luck and God bless you! 🙂 |

RE: Admin Email Notification for New User Registration not being recieved

Hi Nemo,
I just tested my own wpForo Installation (because I always receive a "New User registration" email notification). I just registered a test user once again just to double check.
I agree with Sofy, that "User registration is being processed through the default WordPress registration system and it is handled by Wordpress, not the wpForo side."
And to add further to that .. 🙂
Because the "from email address" for new registration comes from "wordpress @ YOUR WEBSITE . COM "(without spaces)
On the other hand, the "from email address" for FORUM topics and posts and replies, come from "YOUR FORUM NAME - Forum < YourForumAdminEmail @ YOUR WEBSITE . COM > "
I will share my settings below, and then maybe you can also double check it with yours, and then you can test it too. (And let me know if it works for you too! 🙂 )
On the "WP Dashboard"
Go to "Settings"
"General"
Under "Membership", I unchecked "Anyone can register" box.
Then on "wpForo"
Go to "Forum Dashboard"
Select "Features" tab
"Enable User registration" - set to YES(This option is not synced with WordPress "Anyone can register" option in Dashboard > Settings > General admin page. If this option is enabled new users will always be able to register.)
"Enable User registration email confirmation" - set to YES
"Replace registration Page URL to Forum registration Page URL" - set to YES
I think the #5 step of setting the "Replace registration Page URL to Forum registration Page URL" - set to YES would help trigger the email notification for new Registered Users, since they are registering using the Forum registration page and NOT the WP registration page.
I hope this helps. Good luck and God bless you! 🙂 |

Migrate From Stand-Alone Forums |
| |
Hi Will @webmasterstinsonclub-org,
(1) Stand alone Forums, like PHPBB, has its own User Tables, with specific User IDs, specific topic IDs that they created, and Attachment or Media file IDs.
wpForo uses the WP User Tables, and the simplicity of WP is its Username, and the email attached to this user name.
Here's an example: We can look at it like how MS Word might handle a Mail Merge.
There are "labels" for field names like: (1) First Name, (2) Last Name, (3) Street 1 Address, (4) Street 2 Address, (5) City, (6) State, (7) Zip Code, and (8) Country, in that order. Resulting to 8 labels corresponding to these fields.
If we will use another software that has labels and field names like: (1) Last Name, (2) First Name, (3) Country, in that order, the resulting merge would not be satisfactory, since only three labels and fields will get migrated (or mail merged), with the labels and fields (1) and (2) cris-crossed.
You need to find a way to make sure that the "labels" and "fields" from point A matches or properly "mapped" to the "labels" and "fields" in point B.
(2) I don't know how big your forum is, or how big your backed up database is, but what I can suggest is for you to save a copy of your PHP database in excel in csv format, and then take note of the specific "fields" from your PHPBB title rows.
Then also export a copy of your wpForo database, and then also take note of the specific fields that it has. Then you will be able to see which field maps to where, before you do the "mail merge" - that's the closest example I can think of when it comes to explaining migrations. 🙂
Sofy explained it in this post too:
(3) That might be problematic - for existing usernames, it will be overwritten, and it will be the same principle as the "mail merge" analogy above. If the fields do not map out exactly, from the "source" to the "target location" fields, it will just corrupt your database with "not synced" data.
(4) It most probably would override passwords, plus issues on (3) .
What you might consider is doing a "data cleanup", or you can hire a developer as well, I think the wpForo Support Team recommends some Tech Teams who handle migrations, too.
Here's one:
I hope this helps somehow point you to the direction you need to go for your Forum. I'm just a member here who try to help when I can. Good luck and God bless you! |

Hi @mtarantjr,
This is not the addon feature, this should be enabled in wpForo > Settings > Login & registration admin page. You should disable the "Enable User registration email confirmation" option, this will automatically make the registration one step with password fields without sending email for resetting the password.
