@ianb,

Please note all questions related to paid addons should be asked in the gVectors.com forum. Here we only support issues related to free wpForo plugin.

@ianb,

No necessary for adding a custom code. Please follow the steps below:

1. Edit the custom field in the Dashboard > Forums > Member Fields admin page

2. Copy the value of the "Field name in Form" filed, for example, field_bbc8ef9

3. Navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Emails admin page

4. Find the "New User Registration Email for admins" section

5. Add the shortcode like the following one in the Message Body:

The red marked part is the value of the "Field name in Form" in the Step 2.

The same with the other custom fields.

@sofy Are you able to tell me where I can find the original registration form, the one that does does send the limited reply to the admins, eg this bit:

New user registration on your site ......:

Username: Ian

Email: email@domain.com (but with the correct details)

If so I can edit the file myself and solve the issue.

Thanks

@ianb,

In general, user registration and account creation is a part of WordPress core. wpForo only provides a registration form. wpForo is the same WordPress registration page with different design and URL.

However, I've already asked the add-on developers if they can provide some PHP solution for you. I'll update this topic once I get news for you.

Registration form custom fields

I have set up a registration form with multiple custom fields. When a user registers I get a notification email but none of the custom field information is contained. I just get:

New user registration on your site ......:

Username: Ian

Email: email@domain.com (but with the correct details)

There are about 20 custom fields missing? Im sure there must be a simple answer but I am yet to find it. Help please.
