How to Add Custom Fields to the Registration Form in Tutor LMS

Do you want to add extra fields to your Tutor LMS student registration form? By default, Tutor LMS provides basic fields; however, many schools and course creators require more detailed information from their students. For example, if you want to add a Phone Number field when students sign up, it can be easily done without using any code.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

• Add a custom Phone Number field to the Student Registration Form
• Add a custom Phone Number field to the Instructor Registration Form
• Display the saved value on the user’s profile page

You can follow the same steps to add any other custom field.
