    How to save the data of the custom fields? I have created a custom fields in the registration page but I was not able to continue saving those. here are my sample code

    add_action('wpas_after_registration_fields', 'wpas_custom_fields', 5 );

function wpas_custom_fields(){
 		$phone = new WPAS_Custom_Field( 'phone', array(
			'name' => 'phone',
			'args' => array(
				'required'    => true,
				'field_type'  => 'text',
				'label'       => __( 'Phone Number', 'awesome-support' ),
				'placeholder' => __( 'Phone Number', 'awesome-support' ),
				'sanitize'    => 'sanitize_text_field'
			)
		) );

		echo $phone->get_output();

		$address = new WPAS_Custom_Field( 'address', array(
			'name' => 'address',
			'args' => array(
				'required'    => true,
				'field_type'  => 'text',
				'label'       => __( 'Address', 'awesome-support' ),
				'placeholder' => __( 'Address', 'awesome-support' ),
				'sanitize'    => 'sanitize_text_field'
			)
		) );

		echo $address->get_output();
}

add_action( 'wpas_register_account_after', 'wpas_custom_fields_saving', 10, 2 );

function wpas_custom_fields_saving( $user_id, $user_fiels ){
	//update_user_meta( $user_id );
	//seems like I cant access my custom fields here
}

    Hi,

    You don’t need to do anything to save the custom fields values. Once a field is registered, everything is automated.

    However, please use the helper functions shown in the documentation for registering your fields. I strongly advise you not to use the classes directly if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing.

    You can find the documentation about custom fields and a sample custom fields plugin here: https://getawesomesupport.com/documentation/awesome-support/custom-fields/

    Oh, I realize I read your message too quick though. What you did to display custom fields on the registration page works, but custom fields are used in the ticket submission form, not on the registration form.

    If you want to add those fields to the registration form, you’ll need to process them manually.

    You can hook onto wpas_register_account_after to process additional user custom fields and then use update_user_meta()
