Change Log
0.6
Release Date: 5/19/2008
* Added PHPDoc
* Updated add_action to use inbuilt filter rather then have users add their own
* Update admin UI to 2.5 LnF
* Updated input tag to make it look like native input tags
* Updated fergcorp_forceRegistrationField_updateFields to use passed variable instead of DB query
* Updated error handling in fergcorp_forceRegistrationField_checkFields to use the new WP_Error object (note: this makes WP 2.5 a minimum requirement)

0.6 MU
Release Date: 1/17/2008
Only worked with username-only signups. Now it works with all types of signups.

0.5 MU
Release Date: 1/15/2008
Port of standard WP version to the WPMU platform to accommodate the architecture differences.

Added a new function to accommodate the differences in WPMU user registration.
Enjoy!

0.5

     @Devendra,

     As I already said, the plugin has reached the end of its life. This means that I am no longer developing this program or offering support.

     If you would like to hire me to help you with this problem, my rates are very reasonable.

   I edited the code for the plugin to get the input fields to look exactly like the ones that WP provides — the ones this plugin generates don’t match. Within the tag input type="text" use this inline CSS:

   style="font-size: 20px; width: 97%; height: 29px; padding: 3px; margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom:15px; background-color: #fbfbfb; border: solid 1px #dfdfdf;"
