    Hello,

    I added the Facebook registration button to my custom registration form. I have two additional meta fields but after account registration these fields are not saved in the user account. How can I save them? is it possible?

    Best regards!

    Hi @webcraftersstudio

    What you need to know, is that the social buttons appearing in a form and the form fields doesn’t really have any connection. So if you display extra form fields we won’t really do anything with those, as your form and the social login works separately.

    If you want to get and store some extra information when a person registers with social login, then you need to do some custom coding.
    More specifically, you need to display extra input fields in our own registration flow – the fields should be filled manually by the users – and after they submit the form, you should run a validation on it and store the data ( e.g. as usermeta ) if everything is fine.

    Please note that we can not provide support for custom coding and problems caused by custom codes, but if you have the necessary developer knowledge, then we actually have a documentation for developers:

    and we also have an code example that shows the way you could ask custom data before the registration with social login:

    Best regards,
    Laszlo.
