Fixed compatibility with PB add-ons and problems with some form fields.

    Hello,

    If I understood your question, you just need to activate this plugin and it will do the rest.

    It will hide Profile Builder form labels and place them like placeholders.

    Have a nice day!

    bug with wp 4.3:

    Hello,

    We can’t replicate your bug, please tell us in what circumstances do you get this warning.

    Same error here:

    Same error here.

    Profile builder was updated to the latest version (2.3.1) but still the same error.

    I corrected it by editing the line 199 at pbpl.php file and adding isset check as follows:

    if( (isset($pbpl_pb_moduleSettings[‘wppb_multipleRegistrationForms’]) && $pbpl_pb_moduleSettings[‘wppb_multipleRegistrationForms’] != ‘not_found’ && $pbpl_pb_moduleSettings[‘wppb_multipleRegistrationForms’] == ‘show’ ) || ( isset($pbpl_pb_moduleSettings[‘wppb_multipleEditProfileForms’]) && $pbpl_pb_moduleSettings[‘wppb_multipleEditProfileForms’] != ‘not_found’ && $pbpl_pb_moduleSettings[‘wppb_multipleEditProfileForms’] == ‘show’ ) )

    Hello,

    We will fix this bug and push an update Monday, sorry for this inconvenience.

    Best regards,

    Hey,
    works fine for “edit-profile” and “registration” forms, but what about the “login” formular? There is no effect on this at all. Any reason for that bug?

    WP Version: 3.4
    PB (Pro) Version: 2.2.2

    I need labels in profile page and placeholders in registration form! is it possible?

    Hello @hamed,

    This can be achieved with the Pro version of Profile Builder, using the Multiple Registration Forms feature.

    You can choose to show or to not show the placeholders.

    Regards.
