Account section – fields have no labels or placeholders?!

Hi @crazyserb – What was the last version you’ve installed before the latest update?

Regards,

I don’t know… what does that matter?

Are certain updates in the latest version only applied IF you upgrade from a certain version or something silly like that?

Hi @crazyserb – There are breaking-changes made in the latest version. We also had breaking-changes made from version 1.2.x to 2.0. We need these details so we can provide further support.

Hi @crazyserb

I apologize, I was looking at the wrong screenshot earlier.

I’ll discuss this issue with the account fields placeholder as a team.

Regards,

Line 2102 in /includes/core/class-fields.php:

changing

placeholder="' . esc_attr( $placeholder) . '"

to

placeholder="' . esc_attr( $label ) . '"

did the job.

I’m sure plenty more of those placeholders needed to be changed or at least the $placeholder variable needed to be properly updated as it equals to pretty much nothing in most of those cases (hence why replacing it with actual $label worked)..

You’re welcome.

Hi @crazyserb

You can add the placeholders for Account fields with the following filter hook:

+ um_predefined_fields_hook
– $predefined_fields

Sample code snippet:

<?php
add_filter( 'um_predefined_fields_hook', 'my_predefined_fields', 10, 1 );
function my_predefined_fields( $predefined_fields ) {
   
   $predefined_fields['first_name']['placeholder'] = __("First Name","ultimate-member");

   return $predefined_fields;
}
?>
