User registration - custom user meta

    Hi there,

    I am thinking of purchasing the developer license and have a question regarding the user registration add on.

    I am going to have a lot of different custom user meta fields. I noticed that you say that the add on does not do this automatically. So will I be able to create the meta fields myself and then map the form to them?

    And will this data be held in the wordpress user table or in the gravity forms table on the database?

    I ask this as I will need to have a page where I can query the database and display a list of users.

    Kindest regards,

    Adrian

    The user registration data is stored in both places. It will be automatically stored as a form entry, which is always created when a form is submitted. Then it will store the WordPress user data that is mapped in the User Registration Add-On Feed in the WordPress user table. The entry data is just historical. Updating the entry data does not update the user that was created. After the user is created, in order to update the user you'd have to edit their user profile in WordPress.

    Gravity Forms will be able to store data in any user meta field. What it doesn't create is any custom profile fields on the users profile page in WordPress. It just creates the data in the database. It's the field UI it doesn't create on the profile page.
