    Hi, this plugin looks great. It’s a shame it can’t be extended easily. One issue I have had is the WordPress user email is stored in get_userdata, not user_meta. I would so buy a pro version that could handle custom fields, get_userdata etc..
    Hopefully you’re sitting around doing nothing waiting to create a pro version of the plugin for little old me 😉

    Haha, that’s an interesting thought.
    So your wish is I’d add the option to add other database tables, (including those containing custom fields), and sync fields from those tables.

    Any other thoughts that might behind your ‘etc’?
    Now that I’m thinking through possible (!) additional plugin functionality, feel free to chip in with other functionality or lay-out wishes you may have for the plugin 😉

    Being able to sync fields to and from custom/standard fields I think would make it a full-featured plugin. If you were going to consider adding bells and whistles, the ability to see what data is in a field (e.g. when you select a field it can show the last 10 entries of that field or similar) so you know exactly what you’re syncing would be pretty handy! But even without that and just access to the fields is super useful!

    Quick update: Checking the amount of work and to see if I can find a developer to assist(I’m overloaded at the moment).

    Hey there! I just ran into your plugin and this feature would 100% solve all my issues! Was curious if you think you will go through with this potential feature

    Hi @cauzeneffeckt ,
    Thanks, good to hear!
    As for the future: I’m busy selecting a developer to help, (too busy to do the work myself, sorry).
    I’ll let everyone know in the support section once the work is underway!

    Here is a biggy pjfc:
    Open table in db, any table.
    Open second table.
    Map selected fields of Table 1 into Table 2.

    An example. I am using Bookly which is an appointment plugin. It keeps its own table of bookly customers. On the backend, you can opt to create a wp account when entering the data.
    But, you can also register a user independent of Bookly but it does NOT create a bookly customer.
    I would love it to. This way I could use an independent registration plugin up front.
    Thanks for your consideration.

    Hi @pradhansb,
    Thanks for your below suggestion.

    The challenge with what you suggest is that a table can exist of any type of data, and without following the logic of WordPress hierarchy of data (Custom Post type, Custom Field, etc) we would have no knowledge what data constitutes a field with values and what other ‘field’ to sync it to.
    So that setup is too broad for this plugin I’m affraid.

    Having said that, as long as the data is of these types it should work in the new version:
    Post meta, term meta, user meta, comment meta or users.

    Want to try the beta? If so send me a Direct message.

    Sure. I don’t see a way to dm to you though. I am at [redacted]@gmail.com
    I have a staging site where I could readily play!
    Thanks for the opportunity.

    No, (1) there is no DM capability here and (2) please do not post emails or other PII here.
