Description
The Register Helper addon adds custom fields to the checkout and member profile of Paid Memberships Pro, organizing them in groups and allowing you to conditionally display which appear at each membership level. Designed for those who need to collect data beyond the standard name and email, it displays the collected fields also in the member editing sheet in the admin, with the option to mark fields as internal use or visible only to administrators.

Organizes multiple fields under a common title for visual clarity in the form. - Conditional by Membership Level

Who Should Use Register Helper?
- Those who maintain a member directory and need to collect company, position, phone or other data beyond the standard.

- Communities, clubs and online courses that require richer registration than just name and email.
How to Download Register Helper
Register Helper is available for download here on Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in the WordPress panel, select the file and activate; custom fields then appear in Memberships > Settings in the User Fields section.
For membership sites with complex profiles, niche communities or online courses that require specific student data, Register Helper transforms the PMPro checkout into a complete registration form.

- Download the file
pmpro-register-helper.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the file
pmpro-register-helper.zip, click Install Now and then Activate.
