• Fill in the form and don't select a user group as this custom field we are making is a global one that all user groups will see and fill in (other than banned users)

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. Don't select anything for this.
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 for on it. You'll want to fill in any other languages you have too. In our example, we used Favorite Dessert for this custom field.
9. Group: The default Group is About Me. This is where the custom fields are grouped together. You can create Groups as well. 
10. Required: Do you want users to be required to fill in this field when they edit their profiles?
11. Include on Registration: This will show the custom field on the registration. If you also chose Yes to #6, then the new user will have to fill this in during registration.
