Adding ACF Relationship Field to Your Custom User Registration Form

Creating a customized user registration form can greatly enhance the user experience on your WordPress website. However, integrating complex features like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) relationship fields can present challenges, especially when you opt for a custom form instead of the default registration. In this guide, we will explore how to effectively add an ACF relationship field to your custom user registration form, ensuring that users can select related study paths seamlessly.

Understanding the Problem

The primary issue at hand is that while you've used ACF to create a relationship field group named related_study_paths, it doesn't automatically display on your custom registration form. You want this field to show so users can select related study paths from the studypath custom post type when registering. Let’s break down how you can resolve this and successfully integrate the ACF relationship field into your custom registration form.

Solution Overview

To implement the ACF relationship field in your registration form, you need to follow these steps:

Modify the Registration Form: Update your registration form to include the ACF relationship field correctly.

Capture the Selected Value: Ensure that the selected relationship field value is captured during user registration.

Update User Meta: Save the selected study path to the user’s meta data after registration.

Step 1: Modify the Registration Form

In your mepoNET_registration_fields() function, you’ll include the ACF relationship field. Here's how you can do it:

This code snippet loads the ACF relationship field into your form, allowing users to select their desired study paths.

Step 2: Capture the Selected Value

Also, in your user registration handler function (mepoNET_add_new_user()), you need to ensure you capture the selected value from the ACF relationship field:

This code will handle incoming form data and ensure that any selected study paths are saved to the newly registered user's profile.

Step 3: Update User Meta

Lastly, ensure the user's study paths are updated in the ACF field upon registration. You can do this by hooking into the user_register action:

This function ensures that the selected study path from the registration form is updated directly to the newly created user’s meta data.

Conclusion

Adding an ACF relationship field to your custom WordPress registration form doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following the steps outlined above, you can enhance your registration process, enabling users to select relevant study paths that align with their interests or needs. The integration of ACF fields into your custom forms allows for extended functionality and a more personalized user experience.
