Re: Custom fields not showing up under Configure Markup dropdown

I'm really hoping you can help. I've spent hours on trying to create custom fields for a membership list, and your plugin is a godsend..

I was able to create custom fields using the Register Plus plugin, and they correctly showed up in the Configure Markup dropdown as expected. But now, I've added a new custom field via Register Plus, and this new field is not appearing in the dropdown. I'm able to see ONLY the first set of fields I created via Register Plus, in addition to some other fields I formerly made with a different plugin (WP User Manager).

I tried deactivating and reactivating each plugin (Register Plus and Members List) to see if it was a refresh issue or something, but no success. Can you help?

(By the way, I attempted this first with Cimy User Extra Fields, but discovered they were not recognized by Members List. Register Plus seemed to be the ticket for getting custom fields to show up in Members List's Configure Markup dropdown, but I have no idea why this new additional field is not showing up.)

Thanks in advance for your help-- I have several membership sites I'd like to implement your excellent plugin on, if only I can figure out this glitch.

Re: Custom fields not showing up under Configure Markup dropdown

astewart,

Thank you for your question. I hope I have a simple answer for you.

Being that the members list plugin does not know what meta fields you'll have available for each user it performs a generic search for field names in the Wordpress user meta table. It only find fields that have made it into the user meta table. So you could add a hundred fields but only the fields that a user has input a value for will be available to the members list plugin.

good luck!

Re: Custom fields not showing up under Configure Markup dropdown

Hi there,
I am having a similar issue. I am using Your Members for membership and I have several custom fields. the mark up dropdown gives me ym_custom_fields but this just outputs 'Array'.

There is only 2 other fields the dropdown has picked up on.

Any help?

Thanks!

Re: Custom fields not showing up under Configure Markup dropdown

Nina,

It appears as though the Your Members plugin is storing data as arrays and not as a string or integer. The Members List plugin (being that it does not know what value and what type of value is provided in each meta field) would not know what data to display from in the array. Unfortunately, the data stored as arrays will not be displayable with the Members List plugin.

My apologies for the inconvenience.
