Signup is the easiest moment to ask for the details you need, such as a company name or how someone found you.
The Login & Signup block in Nexter Blocks Pro can put your ACF fields straight into the registration form.
For every Login & Signup setting in one place, see the Login & Signup block guide.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Login & Signup block is part of Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Login & Signup, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
- Registration switched on: in Settings > General, tick Anyone can register.
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or Secure Custom Fields (SCF) installed and active.
- A field group for users: in ACF set the location rule to User Role, matching the role new registrations get in Settings > General.
Create the Fields in ACF
- In ACF, create a field group, for example Signup Details, and add your fields.
- Note each field’s Name (its key, such as
company_name), not its label.
- Set the group’s location rule to User Role, then publish it.
Add the Fields to the Form
- Add the Login & Signup block to your page and click Design from Scratch.
- In the Forms panel, set Type to Register.
- Choose a Layout: Inline Form shows the form on the page, Button opens it from a toggle button.
- Open the Register tab, click + Add Field and choose ACF in the Field dropdown.
- In Key, type the ACF field’s Name exactly, for example
company_name.
- In Acf Field, choose the type that matches the ACF field (Text, Email, Select and so on), then set the Width.
- Repeat for each custom field, then save.
How It Behaves
- The custom fields appear on the front-end form only, not in the editor preview.
- When someone registers, the values are saved on their WordPress user profile.
- You can read and edit them later under Users, or with ACF’s own functions.
Limitations
- Pro only, and it needs ACF or SCF.
- The Key must match the ACF field name exactly, otherwise the field does not appear.
- If the field group’s location rule does not match the role new users get, the fields do not appear.
Troubleshooting
The custom field is missing from the form
Check the Key matches the ACF field Name, and that the field group’s location rule covers the role your new users get in Settings > General.
The value is not saved on the profile
Make sure the Acf Field type matches the ACF field type, then register a test account and check under Users.
