 * Hey everyone. I’m working with Theme My Login and WordPress Users plugins to 
   create users and profile pages. I saw the instructions for adding more fields
   into the registration page, but I want to add more fields in the profile page,
   like a title of a project the user is working on and the project description.
 * What would I have to change in the registration field code to put it on my profile
   pages and have it viewable to the public like the “About me” field?
 * Thank you.

 * Hi Sarah,
 * if I understand you correctly, you want to have your own profile page right?
 * If so, please take a look at [http://www.jfarthing.com/development/theme-my-login/templates/](http://www.jfarthing.com/development/theme-my-login/templates/).
   There you can find:
 * > profile_template
 * . You have to copy this template file and put it in your root theme folder. And
   you modify or add some fields in it. (If you haven’t done it already).. 🙂
 * Hope this helps..

 * Hi gdprabowo,
 * Thank you for your response. What I’m looking for is a profile page that can 
   be viewed by other uses, which I’ve achieved by using the WordPress Users plugin.
   What I’m looking to do is add more fields that can be seen via that plugin using
   the information the user puts in on their edit profile page that Theme my login
   offers.
 * I have the profile_template enabled and all but when I edit and copy the piece
   he had for the publicly displayed describtion, it overrides whatever I’ve written
   in for that box. see here:
 *     ```
       <tr>			<th><label for="description"><?php _e( 'About Your Cause' ); ?></label></th>
       			<td><textarea name="description" id="description" rows="5" cols="30"><?php echo esc_html( $profileuser->description ); ?></textarea><br />
       			<span class="description"><?php _e( 'Please share a description of your cause. This will be shown publicly.' ); ?></span></td>
       		</tr>
       ```
