Extra Fields on Edit User page
-
This seems to be a more general WordPress issue than a plugin specific issue, however, with that said, there are two specific plugins that are causing me to come across this issue.
SUMMARY
Before I get into details, what it boils down to is this: as an Admin, I need to be able to update any particular user while having “incomplete” information in their profile, in so far as compulsory fields go.DETAILS
Plugins such as Events Manager and Profile Builder allow you to create extra fields for users when they register to your site through their respective functionalities. And obviously, you can mark some of these fields as “compulsory”. However, the problem arises when these fields are applied to ALL users.And that is all fine and dandy, until it comes time when I need to, as an Admin, edit a particular user, as a case in point, let’s say I’m editing my own profile. Because I was an existing user and did not register through the Events Manager or Profile Builder registration pages, I do not already have some of those compulsory fields filled in on my profile. For example, on one particular form, certain address details were marked as compulsory. And without filling in those details, or making those fields not compulsory through the respective plugins above, the system does not allow me to update the user.
How can I get around this, besides making updates in the database itself?
