- Fill in the form and don't select a user group as is selected when making the Custom Group.
Don't select anything for this. It is very important not to select a user group in this step.
- Location: Choose Main or Basic. You might want to experiment before deciding which one to choose to see which you like best.
- Type: Choose from Large Text Area, Small Text Area, Selection, Multiple Selection, Radio or Checkbox. Experiment to see how these work for what you want to do.
- Name: This is what the user will see so be sure to put a good name for it. You'll want to fill in any other languages you have too. In our example, we used Favorite Dessert for this custom field.
- Group: The Group you created above.
- Required: Do you want users to be required to fill in this field when they edit their profiles?
- Include on Registration: Set this to No as you cannot have a custom field that is user group specific on the registration since the user is not in any special user group until after they've finished registering.
- Add: This adds the custom field to your site.
