Thanks Sidney,

Great video on how to create a custom function as a plugin, makes more sense too rather than being in the child theme.

So I’ve created the custom.php file, put the code in, saved it, then compressed as a .zip file, and uploaded it as a plugin. Can’t see it working as of yet.

During the registration page here- http://screencast.com/t/ij6sWoyzc3i
Will I need another custom function to pull the details from the 3rd party to add at registration stage?
Is this the function to use – ‘action_hook_espresso_update_event_meta’ ?

Thanks.

Thanks Sidney,

Yes, the plugin is activated.
The EE wp-user add-on is activated, but the issue seems to have been that the data in the user profile is not populated, because the 3rd party ‘Paid Membership Pro’ has created another set of address data fields that are captured under ‘Shipping’. Basically their postal address to send something to, if need be.
Because the address data is in a new section in the User profile it has become apparent that’s why the EE add on will not pull the data through, I believe.
Consequently, this is why a custom plugin to pull the data from the 3rd party address fields, and mirror it into the EE address fields, is now what needs to be achieved.

Does that seem right to you?

Yes Sidney, I’ve got access to the wp_usermeta table, and I’ve had a look where the 3rd party data is kept, which is present with the correct request code – http://screencast.com/t/A7ObBuOgJnN8

Is there something else we need to look at?
Thanks.

Thanks Sidney,

These are all the fields available in the table for some users. These fields do vary, with Event Espresso appearing sometimes, and other times not, but I think that also goes for the other fields appearing, or not.

After discussing this with PMPro, they’ve now suggested to use the ‘pmpro_baddress1’ usermeta, as per below.

Here is the plugin code so far, which doesn’t seem to be working.
