WP eMember – Custom Field Display On Page

[jwebadgility]

I’ve used the Form Builder to create some custom fields upon user registration. How do I programmatically access these fields and display them once a user logs in? Particularly I’d like to display them in the eMember widget.

Thanks,

To display the custom fields in the User Profile page:

To programatically read a custom field value, via shortcode or PHP variable:

Thanks – how do I determine what the shortcode would be for a custom field? I’m using the eMember Profile Display Extended AddOn and I would like to show one of my custom fields in the directory grid.

Right now I have a custom field that is only showing a blank column.

[emember_extended_summary_list fields=”first_name,last_name,alias,email,company_name,hrci-certifications” style=”2″]

The hrci-certifications is my custom field, but I don’t know how to determine the shortcode value.

Thanks,

J

You directly edit the page (the profile listing page or the details page) then enter the custom field name in the shortcode manually.

You can use a simple one word field as a custom field to test the listing page first. You can temporarily create a custom field with a name like “test” then use it in there. See if the value shows correctly.

Field names with multiple words should be joined with an underscore. For example: if the label of a custom field is “Your School” then use the following in the shortcode to shows that field:

Your_School
