Hi,

I want to add extra default profile fields from WordPress (first- and lastname) in the BP registerpage (besides username, email and pass).
I have found the BP-file where I can add extra fields: register.php

I have tried to copy-paste field-code from WP-file user-edit.php, but that’s not working unfortunately.

I noticed in register.php every field starts with ‘signup_’ (for example: signup_username).

Only adding new fields in register.php starting with ‘signup_firstname’ and ‘signup_lastname’ is not enough, what do I have to do next?

Adding the template fields is one thing, but you’d need to write a bunch of glue logic to handle saving and fetching the input to/from the WordPress profile.

Hi Paul (and everyone else),

I noticed a file and code about default WP profile:

In file ‘profile’ there’s a line called ‘Display WordPress profile (fallback)’ and in the same folder (Profile) there’s a file called ‘profile-wp’ with all default WP profile fields in it.

I’m not a programmer, but is it possible to adjust those files so default WP profile fields are displayed in members profile? What do I have to adjust?
