@paulchoe,

The "Who can view" option is designed to see the value of the field, not the just field. And it doesn't have any relation with account and registration pages. So if you added the fields on the account or registration page, on those pages the who can view doesn't make any sense. In other words, if you create some field, for example, "music" and uncheck the "who can view" for guests, the guests will not see the value on the profile pages that the user chooses for the music field.

We'll check and let you know if there is any hook that we may provide you for this case.

HTML Custom Field is showing up for everyone regardless how you setup viewable groups in Account Page

I have created two HTML custom fields using wpForo User Custom Fields plug-in. However, those fields are showing up for all users under Account Page regardless how you setup viewable permissions.

To illustrate the problem I am facing (sorry, these examples are in Korean with English explanations in sample screens), I created two html custom fields as below:

5068 5069

Then, I modified Account under Dashboard/Forums/Member Fields/Tab Manager:

5070 5071

After saving these changes, I logged in as a just registered member.

Unfortunately, however, when I open My Profile/Account, wpForo shows both fields regardless of loggedin user's group membership. (see below)

5072

Is this a bug or am I missing a step?
