    Hey there,

    I have the User Meta add on configured on my site and I want to pass values to it via Gravity Forms. I'm also using the GF User Registration Add On. I have ensured my meta field ID is unique and the same but the input values don't seem to be saving. My metafields also aren't appearing as options in the back end of GF.

    Here's a video to explain further:

    Hi Travis,

    It’s a premium addon, so I have not checked the compatibility between MB User Meta and the addon before. Could you please share a copy of it? I will create a feature request for the developer team to cover this case in a future update.

    Hi Travis,

    I've received the plugin GF User Registration, tested it on my local site, and found a way to solve this issue. After creating a custom field for users (or posts), the meta key (field ID) does not exist in the database while the User Meta in the User Registration plugin looks for an existing meta key in the database.

    So, you can go to Admin Dashboard > Users > Edit a user > Update a value for the custom field, then back to User Registration Form > User Meta to select the user meta.

    Thanks so much for that solution, it does seem to work.

    Question: My forms have a LOT of fields. Is there a way it's possible to show/store the entirety of the form's content in the member's user data without mapping every individual field?

    Hi,

    User Meta is a feature of GF Addon so please contact the plugin support to ask for help in this case. Thank you.

    Wait...what? I'm using the Metabox User Meta extension...not a GF add on one.

    Hi,

    As I understand you want to map the custom fields (id) with the GF Form fields in the User Meta Box. See my screenshot https://imgur.com/6Dgzfwt

    GF Form only support to automatically map some default fields like Username, First Name, Password ... For the custom user meta fields, we have to select by manual.

    I understand this...but is there a way to store entire GF form entries in User Meta vs field by field?

    Final Goal:
    I'm trying to create a simple membership site that will display members business details on the front end, also want the ability to be able to have users edit their profile detail on the front end as well. However before we get to this stage we are getting stuck with mapping the data.

    Problem: I'm unable to map the captured data from the GF Paid registration form into the Custome MB Users Profile area.

    Steps taken I have looked at similar support requests raised and tried the solutions. Not having much luck.

    Here is a video walkthrough of what is going on. https://share.cleanshot.com/XbZdd758
