Using Custom Fields

I have just started using the Free S2Member and am considering upgrading. Great product!

I want to know more about using the custom fields you allow to be added to the member registration form that become part of the user’s account.

I have a site where I use Gravity Forms for members to create posts for events, news, jobs, etc. The forms create the posts. The Gravity Forms allow me to bypass the WP Post interface so that members get a very simple form.

In some of the forms I have fields for the members profile ‘Name’ ‘About author’ sort of thing.

My question is, can I pre-populate these fields with the logged in Members matching information ‘Name, About’ etc?

Gravity forms has a ‘default value’ field. There is a drop-down to populate with the WP defaults such as User Name, Email. But, I want to use the user custom fields I create for the S2Member Registration.

Any experience with this?
Thank you, Nancy

Hi Nancy.

I have no experience with Gravity Forms. If it allows you to enter PHP or shortcodes, that would make simpler:

I hope that helps. :)
