That’s baked into core, and would be difficult to filter out. You’re better off adding a new field specific for what your goal is. It’ll get stored as a text field, and can be used however you please. An example: function ath_cleanup_profile_fields( $contactmethods ) { $contactmethods[‘my_new_profile’] = ‘Business Name’; return $contactmethods; } add_filter(‘user_contactmethods’,’ath_cleanup_profile_fields’,10,1);
I would use my own usermeta to handle it to avoid having any sort of crossover issues with plugins/future updates. It should also allow you greater flexibility in what you store in the usermeta.
Maybe the simplest way is to make a quick plugin that has your own form for inserting users. wp_insert_user() doesn’t require an email address or password, and doesn’t generate an email notification. function wpa70409_add_user(){ $userdata = array( ‘user_login’ => ‘testuser’, ‘display_name’ => ‘Test User’ ); wp_insert_user( $userdata ); }
show_passwords_fields actually is a filter! You can hook into it as you did above, using an anonymous function: add_filter( ‘show_password_fields’, function(){return true} ); You can also write a function, and use it as a callback: function wpse_79994_show_password_fields() { return true; } add_filter( ‘show_password_fields’, ‘wpse_79994_show_password_fields’ ); However, as are only returning a boolean (true or false) … Read more
Adding fields At first adding some fields to the registering formular add_action( ‘register_form’, ‘extended_register_form’, 10, 0 ); function extended_register_form() { // if an error occurs, we are here again and the // values that are entered in the formular are setup in the $_POST array $age = filter_input( INPUT_POST, ‘age’, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT ); echo ‘<p>’; echo … Read more
Your function create_new_user_post() can’t see: $userinfo = get_userdata($user_id); $disname = $userinfo->display_name; Place those within the function so that the function has access to those variables.
Be sure to link that page in your functions page require_once(‘custom-register.php’) cp_head(__(‘Register’,’cp’)); ?> <?php cp_show_errors($errors); ?> <div class=”alert alert”><a class=”close” data-dismiss=”alert”>×</a><strong>Welcome: </strong> <?php _e(‘Complete the fields below to become a member.’, ‘cp’) ?> </div> <div class=”alert alert-info”><a class=”close” data-dismiss=”alert”>×</a><strong>Information: </strong> <?php _e(‘Your password will be mailed to you so use valid email address.’, ‘cp’) ?> … Read more
Use add_filter in your functions.php file to the default text wp_loginout() and wp_register(). Copy and past following to your function.php file: To change wp_register() text: add_filter(‘register’,’register_text_change’); function register_text_change($text) { $register_text_before=”Site Admin”; $register_text_after=”Edit Your Profile”; $text = str_replace($register_text_before, $register_text_after ,$text); return $text; } To change wp_loginout() text: add_filter(‘loginout’,’loginout_text_change’); function loginout_text_change($text) { $login_text_before=”Log in”; $login_text_after=”Sign-In”; $logout_text_before=”Log”; $logout_text_after=”Logout”; $text = … Read more
I see a few possibilities. When you generate the emails (I don’t know how you are doing this but we’ll skip that), register an user for each email generated. Then track the user logins. If, after a week or so, the user has not logged in, delete the user. When you generate the emails, generate … Read more
Update Found this awesome post http://tommcfarlin.com/create-a-user-in-wordpress/ that helped me solve the issue. It was for a product in Shopp where a user can sign up multiple users for a training course, and each email needed to be registered as a subscriber. This is the final code.. <?php add_action( ‘shopp_order_success’, ‘create_subscribers’ ); function create_subscribers( $Purchase ) … Read more
