Custom User Meta

  1. I'm using this add on for one of my forms, for users to submit articles. It works great!

    The problem I'm running into, however, is that there is custom user meta that I've added such as Twitter name and Facebook Page ID etc. None of those show up on the user profile page. Perhaps the meta shows up elsewhere? Should custom meta show up in the user profile somewhere?

  2. Gravity Forms will be able to store data in any user meta field. What it doesn't create is any custom profile fields on the users profile page in WordPress. It just creates the data in the database. It's the field UI it doesn't create on the profile page.
