    Hi everyone

    Is it possible to gether more information on the amember sign up page? For example, my client wants to gether data points like gender, income range, etc.

    Does amember support this, and if not, what do most amember clients use to implement a similar situation?

    fyi, we are using wordpress and amember.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    From what I understand this is really easy to do.

    Just click on "Add Fields" in the admin area and follow the prompts to gather as much info as you need.

    What I am thinking about doing to increase optin/conversion rates is on the sign up page only ask for the bare essentials like First Name, Last Name, Email, Assign Password. Then the user is directed to paypal to make payment and the thank you page is the /profile.php section of amember. That means that once they've made payment then can continue filling in the necessary fields without risking a drop off in conversions.

    Just by chance it seems that once a user has completed this step and they hit save, they are redirected to the members area /members.php and then you can have a custom message in there about their order.

    If anyone can see a problem with this method please let me know.

    All the best.

    Ash
