Custom User Registration Fields for Tutor LMS vs List More Custom Field Names

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).

By default, WordPress only allows 30 custom field names/keys to be listed in the dropdown selection ‘Name’ field when writing a post or page. If you, or the plugins you use, make use of a lot of custom field key names, you may surpass the default limit resulting in some custom field keys not being listed. This may force post authors to manually type in custom field key names if they aren’t listed, which increases the chances for naming errors (typos, or not using the precise key name that is needed). This may also cause some authors concern wondering where previously used custom field keys have gone since they aren’t listed. This plugin increases the limit to 200 custom field key names. There is no settings page to customize the default value. If you’d like to list some number of custom field key names other than 200 (say, for example, 100), you can do so in either of two ways: By editing your wp-config.php file and at the end adding a line such as: define( ‘CUSTOM_FIELD_NAMES_LIMIT’, 100 ); -or- Somewhere — ideally in a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin, or less ideally your active theme’s functions.php file — hook the ‘c2c_list_more_custom_field_names’ filter and return the number you’d like to use: add_filter( ‘c2c_list_more_custom_field_names’, function ( $limit ) { return 100; } ); Notes: * The constant, if defined and truthy, takes precedence over the filter. * If either the constant is defined or the filter is hooked but the value configured or returned is not an integer (or an integer string), then the plugin’s default will be used. * The limit specified must be equal to or greater than the WordPress default of 30.
