Hi, how would I add required fields for “first name” and “last name” to the new user account registration page?
Also, I would like another field for “company” where user selects from the list of company “listings” on the site? Is this possible too?
Hi,
You can create, edit and delete profile fields by going to WP Admin > Users > Profile Fields > Select: Add New. Within this section you can create Field Groups or Fields, Field Groups are profile sections and Fields are what a user will input data into.
I’ve attached some screenshots on how to create the fields you mentioned above, please let me know how this goes.
Thanks,
Kieran.

Hello, thanks for your response. This does not answer my question though.
On the “Register” page (see screenshot), I would like to have “First Name” and “Last Name” fields instead of having a “Name” field.
Also, on the “Register” page, I would like to add a new field for “Company” where a new user can select from a dropdown list of all the companies that are in the GeoLocator.
Hi,
This plugin will allow you to remove the name field from the registration form https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-xprofile-fields-for-buddypress/, however you cannot get rid of it completely as it is a core function of BuddyPress. You can also edit the name of the field ‘Name’ by going to WP Admin > Users > Profile Fields > Tab: ‘Base (Primary)’ > Edit: ‘Name (Primary). Once you have edited that you can add a field called Last Name and mark it as required following the steps above.
It is possible to automatically populate a BuddyPress field with content stored from another plugin but this will require in-depth PHP knowledge and considerable time, therefore it is outside the scope of the support we offer for the theme via the forums. You can contact a developer to do this for you if you do not have intimate PHP knowledge or reach out to one of developers, with as much information as possible, for a quote – they can be reached by emailing dev@seventhqueen.com.
You can do this manually in bulk by adapting the code below and adding it to your KLEO Child theme’s function.php file by going to WP Admin > Appearance > Editor > KLEO Child > Functions.php. This process is not automatic so if you add more fields (companies) in the future you will need to go to WP Admin > Users > Profile Fields > Desired Field > Edit to add the extra content.
