$digits = strlen( preg_replace( '/\D/', '', $phone ) );
if ( ( $wpide_phone_required || '' !== $phone ) && ( $digits < 7 || $digits > 15 || ! preg_match( '/^\+?[0-9\s().\-]+$/', $phone ) ) ) {
$errors->add( 'wpide_phone', '<strong>Error:</strong> Please enter a valid phone number.' );
}
return $errors;
} );
add_action( 'user_register', function ( $user_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST['wpide_phone'] ) ) {
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'phone', sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST['wpide_phone'] ) ) );
}
} );
add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', function ( $methods ) {
$methods['phone'] = 'Phone number';
return $methods;
} );Notes
Set $wpide_phone_required to false to make it optional; the number is stored in user meta named phone.
