Multiple Selection Checkboxes
As of WP-Members 3.1.0, multiple selection checkbox support is an included feature in the plugin. That makes custom implementation such as described here unnecessary for most applications. I am leaving this post here however as there may continue to be users who (1) need a high level of customization that may utilize some or all of this kind of approach, and (2) for users who may not update to 3.1+ who need this support.
Note that there is now a more flexible example of multiple selection checkboxes here. This example is easier to set up and allows for multiple checkbox groups.
Something that will probably become a full feature in the main plugin is multiple selection checkboxes. However, until that becomes a full feature, here is a code snippet that you can use to set this up in your existing installation.

Adding the WP display_name field to the WP-Members user profile update form
Recent versions of the plugin have improved support for some of the WP native fields such as nickname, user_nicename, and display_name. I will be continuing to improve support for these fields. Currently, if you want to add something like the Display Name field to the front end of the plugin, you need a little customization. This post will take you through adding that to the front-end user profile update.
This needs to be done in the user profile update and not at registration because WP bases these fields on data used in registration that is not available on the static form – the nickname, the username, and first/last name. This tutorial focuses on adding it to the user profile update, much like WP’s backend (which doesn’t set this at registration, either). Continue Reading →
