Title: Showing form data Last modified: February 12, 2021 --- # Showing form data * Resolved [rhysparry88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhysparry88/) * (@rhysparry88) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-form-data/) * Hi there * Basically I have a macronutrition calculator where it shows a daily allowance section with the fats, carbs, kcal and protein number input boxes and then it does a calculation based on other boxes I have and works out how many macros they have left. * Is there a way of basically showing the latest macros they have left on another page/post within my WordPress site or even display it with in the form itself at the top but specifically for the user who is logged in as it’s a members only website using paid memberships pro plugin. * I have tried to use ACF to add these fields in etc to no avail. * Please help with any solutions you may have and if getting the pro version will help solve this issue. * Thanks Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Support [Imran – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support9/) * (@wpmudev-support9) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-form-data/#post-14041205) * Hi [@rhysparry88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhysparry88/), * Thank you for contacting us. * In your calculation result, you can include this in an inline message for after the user has submitted using the form data option: [https://snipboard.io/iWyqMQ.jpg](https://snipboard.io/iWyqMQ.jpg) * In the email notifications, you can also create a custom message where it can include this information and have it sent to the user filling out the form. A PDF report can be created as well and have them download it. * Another option would be to test out using our API(Requires dev knowledge) where you can grab the entry value: [https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_entry](https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_entry) * Best, Jonathan S * Thread Starter [rhysparry88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhysparry88/) * (@rhysparry88) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-form-data/#post-14043600) * Hi Jonathan * Thank you for your message and information much appreciated. * I guess I want to go down the API route more as basically what I have done is create extra user profile fields for users of my WordPress site which are basically four macros and named the same as what I have on my form. * What I want to now do is on form submission update these new custom fields as you could say with the data from the four fields in my form to these fields. * I then basically want to reference these four extra user fields (which have now been updated from the form submission) on four custom fields or input fields on my form. * The reasoning behind this is so that the user who is logged in can view their current macro data on the form before continuing with the other fields on there. * I hope this makes sense.

It can provide registration forms but that’s, well, a registration only – and not editing of any user data for already registered users. * So that would indeed require to be coded, using Forminator API (as my colleague already provided a link to docs) but I’m afraid it goes way to far into custom development area for us to provide “ready to use” solution. * The first thing would be to actually add your fields to the form and you could use this code as a base for further modification, I believe: * [https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/6a82e5b086d3bbda8006ef36d2907df6](https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/6a82e5b086d3bbda8006ef36d2907df6) * It is meant to let you add custom/additional fields to the existing form “on the fly” so you could enhance it to pre-populate these fields with the data fetched from your ACF fields. * But then you’d also need entire part of updating these fields/user profile upon submission and while it should be doable with a custom code I’m afraid you would have to build this up from scratch as I don’t really have any examples and/or code to start with. * Kind regards, Adam * Plugin Support [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * (@wpmudev-support2) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-form-data/#post-14110716) * Hello [@rhysparry88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhysparry88/) , * We haven’t heard from you for some time now, so it looks like you have no more questions for us. * Please feel free to re-open this ticket if needed. * kind regards, Kasia Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Showing form data’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/forminator/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3443182) * [Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/reviews/) ## Tags * [custom data](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/custom-data/) * 4 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * Last activity: [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-form-data/#post-14110716) * Status: resolved
