Here's the text of the reply I sent following an email from one of your Admin colleagues.
The Custom field HAD already been added to the Profile page. I think the issue is found in your #2 point …"We can't show some data on some user profile page if that user have not selected and saved yet.”
Well, that’s the whole point. Doing a preselection should mean that the customer doesn’t NEED to select and therefore shouldn’t expect to have to then save it. Think about it in UX terms. If we have to tell them to do that, half of them won’t read the instruction and the other half won’t see the point, so won’t do it. You should know forum member behaviours as well as I do. 🙂
I can see that you’ve maybe put this together as a ‘quick fix’ … and I thank you for that effort. But it’s not really a solid solution.
I’m sure that if I was using your registration form then it might work. But I have to use wp-members to handle registration as (as far as I can see) you don’t have a moderated registration offering as yet. And wp-members has superior features and extremely helpful support in any case.
This custom field is an important one for us as it involves member privacy and protection, especially in the case of new female members joining our community forum. I think I need to explore some alternative suppliers on this one.
