If so, you will likely need to hook into the gform_user_registered hook and apply some custom functionality to apply the submitted form data to the user taxonomy for that user. The custom functionality will be based on the "Assigning terms to users" section of Justin's article you linked to above. This piece in particular will do most of what you need:</p> <pre><code>[php] wp_set_object_terms( $user_id, array( $term ), &#39;profession&#39;, false);</code></pre> <p>More info here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_user_registered" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_user_registered</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/registering-a-custom-user-taxonomy#post-65443 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:23:22 +0000 bostondave 65443@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am building a registration form for a non-released website and I am trying to connect GF to a custom user taxonomy. I can get the taxonomy to dynamically populate using the custom post type add on and it shows up on the form but it does not populate the data on submit.</p> <p>If my taxonomy name is registered as "skill", should I use a merge field {user:skill}?</p> <p>My method for registering a custom user taxonomy was taken from the example on this page - it is basically registering a taxonomy to a user and not a post.<br /> <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/10/20/custom-user-taxonomies-in-wordpress" rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/10/20/custom-user-taxonomies-in-wordpress</a> </p>
