Custom Shortcodes vs Custom User Registration Fields for Tutor LMS

Manage custom fields using the insert shortcodes [custom name=”field-name” value=”field-value“] or HTML conditional comments in text of post. It’s a hook for desktop blog clients, which don’t support customfields natively. Простой хак Вордпресса, позволяющий управлять произвольными полями из любого внешнего клиента или при отправке через почту с помощью шорткодов [custom name=”имя-произвольного-поля” value=”значение“] или условных комментариев прямо в тексте поста.

Custom User Registration Fields for Tutor LMS lets you add any extra fields to your Tutor LMS student and instructor registration forms — without writing a single line of code. Need to collect a phone number at registration? A company name, teaching qualification, or country? Configure it in two minutes from the WordPress admin panel and the field appears on your registration form automatically. Unlike generic custom field plugins, this plugin is built specifically for Tutor LMS. Every field you add is displayed in all the places your team actually works: ✅ Student registration form — fields appear automatically. ✅ Instructor registration form — separate field sets for instructors. ✅ Tutor LMS frontend dashboard — students and instructors can view and update their own data from the Tutor profile settings page. ✅ Tutor LMS admin backend — LMS Managers can read and edit all custom field data from Tutor’s built-in user management interface. ✅ WordPress admin profile pages — data also visible in the standard WP admin for admins who work there. Field types supported Text Phone (tel) Email Number URL / Website Date Textarea (multi-line) Select / Dropdown (with your own options) Key features No-code field builder — add, edit, and reorder fields from a clean settings page. No PHP, no shortcodes, no template editing required. Required or optional — toggle each field as required or optional directly in the settings UI. Required fields enforce completion at registration. Separate student and instructor field sets — configure entirely different fields for the student registration form and the instructor registration form. Placeholder text — set placeholder text per field to guide users on what to enter. Dropdown options — for Select fields, define your options list (one per line) directly in the settings panel. Automatic data display — data saved at registration is immediately visible on the Tutor frontend dashboard profile, the Tutor admin backend, and the WP admin user profile. Updating data from any of these locations works correctly. v1.x upgrade safe — existing field configurations from plugin version 1.x are automatically migrated to the v2.0 data format on first activation. No data loss. Who is this plugin for? Tutor LMS site owners who need to capture extra information at registration (phone, company, qualifications, country, etc.) Online course platforms that need instructor vetting fields (teaching experience, certifications, areas of expertise) LMS admins who need to view and manage that data without leaving the Tutor interface How it works Install and activate the plugin (Tutor LMS must also be active).
