Change Default Fields

    Hi, I’ve set up a custom plugin (as per the PMPro documentation) to add additional fields via the Register Helper Add-On, works fine. Now I’d like to customise the default PMPro fields but can’t find a way to do this. I’d like to:
    Remove fields I don’t need
    Change the ‘required’ status of specific fields
    Change the default country
    I’m sure I could do much of this by editing the PMPro php files directly – eg I know I can edit countries.php to change the default country – but this is naughty, right? – breaks on updating, etc. All advice as to the best way to do this would be very welcome, thanks.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for using Paid Memberships Pro.

    You are able to create a custom page template and edit the fields directly like this. This way you can keep Paid Memberships Pro up-to-date.

    Here is documentation to creating a custom page template – https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/documentation/templates/

    Thanks Andrew, very helpful. I’ve created a custom template which works fine, but I’m unable to pass the ‘required’ attribute to fields in the same way that I can with Register Helper. So to try and make the First Name field required, for example

    <input id="bfirstname" name="bfirstname" type="text" class="input <?php echo pmpro_getClassForField("bfirstname");?>" size="30" required="true" value="<?php echo esc_attr($bfirstname); ?>" />

    doesn’t work, presumably because ‘required’ isn’t a recognised attribute? All advice very welcome.
