Unpermitted Parameters adding new fields to Devise in rails 4.0

Question

Very new to working with rails. I have implemented a basic login system using Devise. I am trying to add a couple of new fields (bio:string, name:string) into the sign_up pa

I was having trouble with this too. The documentation on devise's site helped as well as some forums. Here's what I ended up doing:

In custom RegistrationsController (app/controllers/users/registrations_controller.rb)

# app/controllers/users/registrations_controller.rb

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
    before_filter :update_sanitized_params, if: :devise_controller?

    def update_sanitized_params
       devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) {|u| u.permit(:name, :email,   :password, :password_confirmation)}
    end
end

Then in your route file (config/routes.rb) us this for your devise_for statement:

devise_for :users, controllers: {registrations: "users/registrations"}
