Hide content until custom user profile fields are complete?

  • So, first of all, I know there are plenty of plugins that will allow me to add fields to the initial registration form. That’s not what my client is looking for. For whatever reason, they want the standard initial registration, then upon first login, the user is taken to their editable profile page where there are several custom fields to fill out (address and phone). But the user shouldn’t have access to other parts of the site until these extra fields are filled out. And then, once they are, when logged in, they’ll always have access to the content approved for them.

    There must be a function that checks to see if a field is populated and could then use jquery to turn a css div visible if so.

    Thoughts?

  • Uhhh, maybe, but then again, maybe you should still sell them on the idea of using a plugin for user registration. Gravity Forms, with the User Registration add on will help with spam/bot registrations with a honeypot or captcha.

    There might be many different ways to accomplish what they want. I would think about using php to check fields and then redirect, rather than jQuery to show or hide things.
