How to use register_form action in WordPress

Let’s dive into the world of WordPress hooks with a focus on the register_form action. This hook is triggered right after the ‘Email’ field in the user registration form. If you’re a developer looking to add custom fields or functionalities to the registration form, this hook is your go-to!

Live Example 1: Adding Custom Registration Fields

Want to add an extra field to your registration form? This example shows you how to use the register_form action to achieve that.

    add_action( 'register_form', 'weplugins_myplugin_add_registration_fields' );
    function weplugins_myplugin_add_registration_fields() {
        $user_extra = ( isset( $_POST['user_extra'] ) ) ? $_POST['user_extra'] : '';
        ?>
        <p>
            <label for="user_extra"><?php _e( 'Extra Field', 'weplugins_textdomain' ) ?><br />
            <input type="text" name="user_extra" id="user_extra" value="<?php echo esc_attr( stripslashes( $user_extra ) ); ?>" size="25" /></label>
        </p>
        <?php
    }
    

Live Example 2: Executing Custom Code on Registration

Need to perform specific actions during registration? Here’s how you can execute a function using this hook.

    function weplugins_execute_on_register_form_event() {
        // Custom code to be executed during registration.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "register_form", "weplugins_execute_on_register_form_event" );
    

Live Example 3: Removing a Hook Callback

There might be situations where you need to remove a previously registered hook. This example demonstrates how to remove a hook callback.

    remove_action( "register_form", "weplugins_execute_on_register_form_event" );
    

Ensure that you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
