  1. Group: The default Group is About Me. This is where the custom fields are grouped together. You can create Groups as well.
  2. Required: Do you want users to be required to fill in this field when they edit their profiles?
  3. Include on Registration: This will show the custom field on the registration. If you also chose Yes to #2, then the new user will have to fill this in during registration.
  4. Include on Search User
  5. Select the user group this is for.
  6. Location: Choose Main or Basic. You might want to experiment before deciding which one to choose to see which you like best.
  7. 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.
  8. Name: This is what the user will see so be sure to put a good name on it. You'll want to fill in any other languages you have too.
  9. In our example, we used Favorite Dessert for this custom field.
  10. Group: The Group you created below if you want to use a group other than the default About Me. 
  11. Required: Do you want users to be required to fill in this field when they edit their profiles?
  12. 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.
  13. Add: This adds the custom field to your site.

Info

You must put the English title or name for this Group or custom field, or it will cause issues on your site as the master language is used in the code. A blank value for the English phrase will result in a blank value for the Group.
