Hey guys,

is there a way or plugin to have a set of field in the profile page that are not from the signup form?

I want to have a few fields with a set of questions like “Favorite Restaurant” and the user be able to edit this and add their favorite restaurant etc… similar to facebook.. I dont have to overload the sign up form…

thank you!

That’s a basic feature of profile fields. Go to “Profile Field Setup” in your backend and you’ll see this:
“NOTE: Any fields in the first group will appear on the signup page.”

Simply click the “Add New Field Group” button and create the fields you want in that new group. They will not appear on the signup page, but will be available on the user’s Profile page.

Be careful with the “Required” setting though. If you set fields in new groups to “Required”, your users will be trapped on their profile page the first time they visit until they fill in all required fields.

Oops… my comment about “Required” fields is a bit (a lot?) misleading

Users will not be able to save their profile settings until all required fields are filled out… that’s what I meant by “trapped”
