Restricting profile fields

In the General Options–>Registration/Profile Fields & Options, I’m trying to create fields that people at level 4 will see but people at level 2 will not (as an example.) When I add a new field it gives me the choice to restrict to specific levels.

The problem is the person hasn’t registered yet–they are just now going through the registration process–so they can’t see the level 4 fields even if they are purchasing the level 4 membership. Am I missing something here?

Hello Chris,

In that case you wouldn’t put any restrictions to that field.

Does this answer your question?

I may not have been clear.

Level 2 members will submit A and B (information fields) in their registration. Level 4 members will submit A, B, and C in their registration. I’d like there to be one registration process where they choose level 2 or 4, then they submit the corresponding information fields. Is there any way to do this or am I coming at it the wrong way?

Hello Chris,

Well seeing how you can only put 1 pro-form per page, the best way to go on about this would be to have a page where users will choose what level they wish to buy, you can put your content that will sell that, and then you can redirect them to a page for the registration of the different levels. The only problem is, the fields would still remain available regardless of the level they choose.

If you really need this, then here’s something I can think of, use the same flow as the above, but require the fields depending on the level they are for, so if a field is for a user at level 1 then it will be protected at that level, I suggest you use ccaps for this though.

Then when the user registers, in the login welcome page put a link for them to modify their profile, at which moment they would finish filling out those fields.

If this flow doesn’t work for you, then the next thing you can try is coding this in yourself or hiring a freelancer to do this for you at websites like jobs.wordpress.net or something of the like.

Hope this helps. :)
