how to add custom registration field on registration form?

how to add custom registration field on registration form?

for example: i want to add user phone number on registration form & update it in user_meta

i know that your theme got no such option…
so i ask you how to add some code to do that…

here is default code for registering user with custom form field:

add_action(‘user_register’,’custom_user_register’);
function custom_user_register($user_id) {
if (!empty($_POST[‘bank’])) {
update_user_meta($user_id,’bank’,trim($_POST[‘bank’]));
}
if (!empty($_POST[‘account_no’])) {
update_user_meta($user_id,’account_no’,trim($_POST[‘account_no’]));
}
if (!empty($_POST[‘account_holder_name’])) {
update_user_meta($user_id,’account_holder_name’,trim($_POST[‘account_holder_name’]));
}
if (!empty($_POST[‘phone’])) {
update_user_meta($user_id,’phone’,trim($_POST[‘phone’]));
}
}

where should i put those code?
those code doesn’t work with your theme

i can add some extra field on your registration form by adding some code in the file top-menu.php in directory /parts/header/ but it wont save those custom field to usermeta

what a FUCKING answer!!!
you even don’t know how to modified your own creation theme, now you told me to hire a freelancer…!!!

You need to learn how to customize WordPress — theme support doesn’t include custom programming, only support for the built-in features of the theme.

You might try looking at the help on wordpress.org on how to create a new function for user_meta, to put in your functions.php file, which might then save that to the dbase.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_user_meta

Or, you might use something like ACF – advanced custom fields — maybe that will help.

Or, if you don’t know how to edit your functions.php to add new elements for working with WordPress data fields — hire a programmer.

(( I don’t work here — but have been using the theme for 2.5 years ))
