Note: WordPress 3.2 or higher is required due to new error handling procedures. == Description == When new users register, this plugin forces new users to register additional fields of your choosing or lets you add your own custom fields. Default available fields are: * First Name * Last Name * Nickname * Website * AIM screen name * Yahoo IM screen name * Jabber/Google Talk user name * Password Wordpress User Registration Aide Force & Add New User Fields on Registration Form, as the title implies, allows you to require more fields when a new user registers. This not only can help to stop spammers, but it can also increase your user management capabilities and services for your user base. All the new fields that you add also are added to existing users profiles, but the users will have to fill them out of course, but any new users will be required to fill out these fields if they are included in the registration process. Another important option is that you can also add new fields to the users profile page but not require them for registration, so you can increase you user management capabilities. This is an exciting new feature for Webmasters that wish to increase contact options, communications, and information obtained from your user base.
