    Trying to auto fill the inviter field on my registration form from url like this:

    Powertrader.net/register?invite=testuser

    But it just loads the page without the invite field filled in. What do I need to do instead so I can autofill fields from url?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @garagesteve1155,

    You can use following jQuery code to populate a text field from url ( Where sometextfiled-5 is the input field ID, you can use browser inspection tool to find your invite field id)

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){

var params = getUrlVars();

jQuery('input#sometextfiled-5').val(params['invite']);

});

function getUrlVars()
{
var vars = [], hash;
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
return vars;
}

    Thanks.

    Hi @garagesteve1155,

    You can use a plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-specific-scripts/ to add this code in your register page. There might be other similar plugins available which lets you add js code in specific page. Go to Pages->Registration->Edit, inside dashboard & add the code there.

    Thanks.
