I got the registration working just fine, thank you for your plugin!

I see right now, I can create a user and will only submit the username, email and password. What if I need to send the description, name and maybe some custom fields?

Is it possible and if so, how can we do that?

thank you!

Hello @luchoster

That’s possible since version 1.4.0. Just add an action
```
add_action('wp_rest_user_create_user', 'user_created');
function user_created($user) {
	// Do Actions
}
```

Hm. This is not enough actually.
You need to pass form data to same action as well so I can access data sent via register form.
```
add_action('wp_rest_user_create_user', 'user_created', 10, 2);
function user_created($user, $parameters) {
	// Do Actions
}
```
Need to extend action in plugin L:140:
do_action('wp_rest_user_user_register', $user, $parameters)

@bobz I’ve tried this, but $parameters is empty in
```
function user_created($user, $parameters) {
	// Do Actions
}
```
Any suggestions ?

Nevermind its fixed, the problem was I had this

add_action('wp_rest_user_create_user', 'user_created');

instead of this

add_action('wp_rest_user_create_user', 'user_created', 10, 2);

Correct, it’s needed to modify plugin code.

is there a plan to extend the plugin, so this doesn’t break when there’s a new update?

I second what @luchoster is asking.
Without directly modifying the plugin I don’t see how I can access $parameters.

hey @eduardoomota as @bobz mentioned, you need to add this https://wordpress.org/support/topic/create-user-with-custom-fields/#post-11270122

The first part can be done on your functions.php file.

Then the user_created function could look like this (this could be your /user endpoint):
```
function user_created($user, $parameters) {
    $user_id = $user->id;
    if (isset($parameters['description'])) {
      update_user_meta( $user_id, 'description', $parameters['description'] );
    }
  }
```
