 * Hi all, I am attempting the transition from drupal to wordpress and thus far 
   I am pleasantly surprised by the platform.
 * I am currently working on a project which will have a category called location.
   When a user registers, I want to include a field in the registration form that
   is dynamically populated by the above location category. Is this possible and
   if so how would I go about it.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Better create a plugin which will manage the dynamic data for you through Settings
   API as you like and pull the data to registration form through the custom registration
   form. I think these links can be helpful to you

 * Hi Sakar thanks for the response.
 * I think what I am trying to do might be outside the scope of my abilities.
 * Basically I want two different user registration forms. The first being a consultant
   and the second being a subscriber. Basically the consultant would fill in a “
   region” field in their registration form. When the subscriber then fills in the
   subscriber user form they will also have a region field. Once they have completed
   the field (preferably a autocomplete field), i want to display the relevant consultants
   filtered by said field.
 * I may have to pay someone to make a plugin for me with this functionality. Any
   idea what something like this might cost?

 * As per the [Forum Rules](https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Offering_to_Pay),
   please do not ask people for financial costings or offer to pay for services.
   Try [http://directory.codepoet.com/](http://directory.codepoet.com/) or [https://jobs.wordpress.net/](https://jobs.wordpress.net/)
   for that.
 * Otherwise, try looking at some of the free custom login plugins.
