Is there a Way to Add Extra meta Data To Profile Page?

    I'm creating a user registration form using GF and the Members Plugin (Justin Tadlock's) and the GF Registration Add-on. What I need to happen is on the User's Profile page, I need the data collected from the GF Registration form to be shown. So, in addition to the standard stuff (username, email, etc.), I need their Address, Phone Number and Company Name to be displayed and editable. I read that the Registration Add-on does not add this extra data to the Profile page. Is there a way (or a plugin) to do this?
    Thanks,
    Lori

    I'm not aware of any specific plugins, but i'd imagine some exist in the WordPress.org plugin repository. There is also a tutorial on how to write your own code to do this on Justin's site here:

    It is a feature we would like to add to the User Registration Add-On in the future to display custom fields in the future, but it gets complex because then people are going to want options to display them as different input types, etc. So it would quickly snowballs into something more than originally intended which is why we are hesitant to do so just yet.

    Thanks, Carl...I could see where it could snowball. I'm not very proficient in php (just enough to tweak stuff, but not write my own).
    I'll give you link a look and see if it's something I could try to tackle. Thanks again. I am totally sold on Gravity Forms and plan an upgrade :-)

    Is there a way to sync the data between Gravity Forms and WP? Meaning would it be possible for someone to write a plugin that will do what I requested above? Nothing in the WP repository does what I need it to do.
    Thanks again,
    Lori
