Phone number not recorded in User
-
Hello,
I use the Default Registration Form (not customised).
The form includes the Mobile Number field (required, visibility: everywhere, privacy: everyone, user can edit: ticked, validation: phone number).
The question is why the Mobile Number is not recorded in WP/Dashboard/User although the User in question has registered and provided his number in the above form. The other information collected by the form are recorded and are visible in the User’s profile, but not the phone number.
This question has been asked several times on this forum, but no clear answer is available to the best of my research.
Regards,
Martin

Can you post an example of a Mobile Number not being saved
and replace each digit with 0 so you don’t publish a real users number.Nobody can test your issue without having the format of your countrys mobile numbers.
My assumption is that your mobile numbers are 10 digits starting with a zero.
You may have dashes or points between digits and all these combinations works fine when I’m testing with field validation set to phone number.Your issue might be from a theme or plugin conflict so can you start by testing with a basic default theme like “Twenty Twenty” or “Twenty Twenty-One”?
Hello,
The actual number which was typed in the live form but not saved in WP/Dashboard/User is: 0974537653 (exactly like this, with no special characters or anything else).
This is a typical formal for mobile numbers in South Africa. The validation in the Default Registration Form is set to Phone Number. I did not get a validation error when entering that very same number in the live form.
The phone number 0974537653 was displayed as is in the UM Pending Review email, but not saved in WP/Dashboard/User.
Is there a specific UM validation format in terms of phone numbers validation in South Africa?

I can’t reproduce this issue with UM 2.2.3 beta.
This is the regex being used by UM for all phone numbers:
$this->regex_phone_number = '/\A[\d\-\.\+\(\)\ ]+\z/';and the test where $string is the actual mobile number:
function is_phone_number( $string ) { if ( ! $string ) { return true; } if ( ! preg_match( $this->regex_phone_number, $string ) ) { return false; } return true; }Which plugin are you using to include the mobile number field in WP/Dashboard/User ?
If you edit the profile with this mobile number
what will be prefilled by UM in the edit field?Hello,
Is 0974537653 a valid phone number as per your previous email? Yes or No.
Which plugin are you using to include the mobile number field in WP/Dashboard/User ? I use UM latest version only. What other plugin could it be?
If you edit the profile with this mobile number what will be pre-filled by UM in the edit field?
If I alter the User profile in WP/Dashboard/User by manually adding a different number to the phone fields (in billing and shipping addresses, which were initially left empty) and update, then the profile of the user in UM profile dashboard still reflects the initial number (0974537653), even after having deleted the cache.
It seems clearer and clearer that UM records the phone number in its own DB, but simply does not record the phone number in WP/Dashboard/User.

You can have the “Admin Columns” plugin to display any UM user field on the WP list of “All Users”.

What is the Heading text for the phone number field in WP/Dashboard/User?
Headings (I provided that information in my previous message)
Customer billing address / Phone
Customer shipping address / PhoneThese fields belong to WooCommerce and are not managed by UM.
You can verify by deactivating WooCommerce and these fields will disappear.Meta keys are: “shipping_phone” and “billing_phone”
The UM meta keys are: “phone_number” and “mobile_number”
Hello,
Easier would be for you to register on my website: dialedger.com and I will show you what reflects in WP/Dashboard/User/Username/wp-admin/user-edit.php.
And I will be able to show that no phone number is displayed on that page, although provided during registration.
