Here’s a bitter scenario. Some experts could advice on this for a practical solution.
We are in situation that we are building a site with for a growing user base, transactions (user activities) and payments. The plugin and theme provides much of the features we need.
-
There are 4 types of users. One type requires to go through a job application after registering. The plug-in doesn’t provide such functionality. So I am attempting to create a page with a job application form which the user can login, save/update and fetch application data multiple times until they submit it.
-
I have created a custom page with job application form. However I have no access to the C-panel of the database and I am new WordPress. Since the plug-in provides the management of the user types, how can link this form to the current database and a specific table?
-
How can I redirect the users after registration into this job application page? (the solution to this also serves to redirect an exiting user into the job application form)
-
Do you think as the user base grows (so is the data), it’s recommended to have a separate database for users?
FYI: The webmaster (manages the server, hosting, and database) is from the last century … no change can be done on that, firmly objects to every attempt for even the slightest modification to the plug-ins. But I want to take a shot and see if we can achieve as it’s surely possible.
A workable direction to achieve this is appreciated.
