wpmem_pre_register_data

Chad Butler · Jul 28, 2021 ·

add_action( 'wpmem_pre_register_data', 'my_reg_hook' );
 
function my_reg_hook( $fields ) {
  
    // The following can be used to output what is in 
    // the $fields array so you can see what's in it,
    // and then it quits:
    // echo "<pre>"; print_r( $fields ); echo "</pre>";
    // exit();
  
    // In a real, working use of this action, you can
    // do whatever you need to do with registration
    // data before it is inserted.  
    
    // The following is an example using it to perform
    // validation, you can stop registration and return
    // an error message to the user by globalizing 
    // $wpmem_themsg and giving it your error message:
     
    global $wpmem_themsg;
    
    if ( $fields['my_field'] != 'some_criteria' ) {
        $wpmem_themsg = 'your error message...';
    }
    
    return;
}

Not sure what to do with this code?

You're not a "coder" and don't know what to do? Don't worry! Code Snippets are the basic building blocks of WordPress customization, and once you know the basics, they are simple to use.

Here are some free articles to get you started:

  • Using Code Snippets from the Site
  • Using a code snippets plugin
  • The functions.php File
  • Create a plugin file for custom functions
  • Create a child theme
  • Do not modify plugin files!

For "hands on" help, consider a plugin support subscription or the Pro Bundle.
