The functions.php is the file that exists in you theme folder, not the wp-includes folder. Some themes don't have one to start out with. If that's the case, you can create a functions.php file and place it in your theme or child theme folder.</p> <p>Let's get that working first, then we can work on the rest. Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-meta-for-auto-fill-form-and-user-profile#post-48011 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:56:18 +0000 attorney 48011@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I didn't want to start a new thread since my issue is the same. First of all, with WP 3.3.1 I get errors adding Justin Tadlock's modification to functions.php to show the field:</p> <p>Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action() in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php</p> <p>Second, there is no explanation as to how to set up and connect the User Meta field. Are spaces and capitalization allowed? Is this field the field name that is entered into the usermeta table (I assume it is) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-meta-for-auto-fill-form-and-user-profile#post-46700 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:07:56 +0000 Chris Hajer 46700@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Do you have a link to your form online? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-meta-for-auto-fill-form-and-user-profile#post-46267 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:43:09 +0000 HL 46267@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris, I got everything setup except the auto fill on "address". How can i do this, because there is no "default value" under "advanced". </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-meta-for-auto-fill-form-and-user-profile#post-45969 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:10:25 +0000 Chris Hajer 45969@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Once you map the form fields to the user meta fields in the User Registration feed, the user meta is populated. However, you need to determine how to display it. Here is a good explanation from Justin Tadlock on what is required:</p> <p><a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields" rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields</a></p> <p>Regarding question two, that might be a bug caused by the latest WordPress (3.3+) and Gravity Forms.

How to bring all the "user meta" into "user profile".</p> <p>2. Our registration form contained phone#, address and more. Now, we are creating a form that should auto fill for user that is logged in. How can we do this? How can we add the user meta into "default value"? I have tried {user:phone} in default value, which is not working.</p> <p>Best,<br /> HL </p>
