Tareq Hasan Hi, the previous version of the WP User Frontend plugin, had a shortcut to let the user edit its profile page from front end. With this shortcode [wpuf-edit-users] I was able to grab all the User's field to edit, also the one created through s2member Plugin. Now it seems to disappeared this functionality. How else can be done?

When you create a registration form you should get profile edit short-code.

Use that one. in WPUF PRO short-code is different.

Ohh, it seems that the Free version was better for me, because it had a generic shortcode for “User profile editing” without a specific form ID. That way it was getting all the User fields already created in the Database even if not through a Wp User Front End form.

So now the problem is that I’m using s2member for payed registration process, and then I can’t use Wp User Front for editing profile anymore.

But from the PRO version I am using the Custom Taxonomy function for the Front end posting to Custom post types.

How do you think I can manage this?

Even though you are using s2member, it is also saving those fields into the user meta. So if you know the meta keys, you can use them in the form.

The difference is, you didn’t have any control in the form with the free version, now you’ve in the PRO.

Hi Tareq,
I have tried to make a registration form filling the WPUF Meta Key with the same unique ID of the field created in S2member. Then I have put the shortcode [wpuf_profile type=”profile” id=”1069″] into a page. When I access this page with a user who has all S2member profile fields already filled, the fields appears blank, empty.

This is the form:

wpuf-registration-form

Did you mean something different?

I am not actually sure if S2member puts those values in it’s own table or in the user meta. If it saves them in the meta table, WPUF can edit/save them, otherwise not. Make sure they are in the user meta table.

I think they are in the user meta table. As I told you, the Free version of the plugin was getting all the fields in the “profile page update” with the value in.

This is a screen shot of the DB table, I see the s2member custom fields but not each “value” stored.. http://www.screencast.com/t/d8XrMKPb

If they are there, how should I set up the form to “update profile” ?

Ummm…thats a problem. s2member is saving the custom fields in a single meta key as serialized array. So WPUF can’t update or save them in that format.

Ok I think I can’t integrate this 2 plugins anymore.

Thank you Tareq
