Hi, I'm building an anonymous site and would like for users to register without providing an email. I know that wp_create_user doesn't require an email address. How can I use the Gravity Forms User Registration Add On without requiring that the user provide an email address? I'm very comfortable modifying PHP code or creating a hook if that's what's required.
Thanks!
I figured out a work around. I made the email field of the registration form visible to the admin only, checked off the "allow field to be populated dynamically" field, and set it to use a parameter called "email." I then added the following code to functions.php to to use a random email address for each new user that is completely hidden from them:
add_filter("gform_field_value_email", "populate_email");
function populate_email($value)
{
return substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 0, 8) . '@domain.com';
}where "@domain.com" was the actual domain for the site I'm building. This gets the job done. If anyone has a better approach I'm open to it.
That's not a bad work around. I'll leave the topic open in case anyone has any other suggestions.
