New Billing Fields don't show up in Users > Edit User page

Did you already find a solution?

I wish ! No answer on stackoverflow either for now.

Hmm too bad.. Me neither..

I think, this option you will see only the profile page in the rich version…

Yeah, I just asked the plugin author and that’s what he said.

I bought the rich version and the problem remains intact. Currently waiting for an answer from the plugin author about it.

Hey guys,

Here is the solution that I came up with and it has been working fine for me, hope it helps you as well.

I created a few new fields for the billing form using this plugin but let’s just use one as an example:

-Resale License # ( billing_resale_license_ )

Now, the plugin will add the field to the form for you, in my case, I end up with:

<input type="text" class="input-text " name="billing_resale_license_" id="billing_resale_license_" placeholder="" value="" display="text">

Now, we need to save the value of that field to the user_meta table, like so:

add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_process', 'ws_billing_fields_save', 10, 1 );

    function ws_billing_fields_save( $user_id ){
        if ( isset( $_POST['billing_resale_license_'] ) ) {
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_resale_license_', $_POST['billing_resale_license_']);
        }
    }

Now that data is stored in user_meta, we need to hook in to the profile area to display it and allow it to be edited by the user or admins.

add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'ws_update_user_profile' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'ws_update_user_profile' );

    function ws_update_user_profile( $user ){ ?>
    <h3>Additional Fields</h3>

    <table class="form-table">
        <tr>
            <th><label for="billing_resale_license_">Resale #</label></th>
            <td><input type="text" name="billing_resale_license_" value="<?php echo esc_attr(get_the_author_meta( 'billing_resale_license_', $user->ID )); ?>" class="regular-text" /></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
<?php
}

    add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'save_extra_fields' );
    add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'save_extra_fields' );

    function save_extra_fields( $user_id ){
        update_user_meta( $user_id,'billing_resale_license_', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['billing_resale_license_'] ) );
    }

I chose to break my additional fields into their own table just above the default Woocommerce fields as I have many of them and they are more specific to the user rather than the order processing itself, so I keep them organized in their own table titled “Additional Fields”.

Hi Craig, thanks for this, it works.

But how would i handle that with an array of lets say check boxes.

I think this plugin is abandoned. Not a shame as it’s awful and buggy!
