# Custom profile fields not working

 * Hi,
 * I created an extra profile field (#1) and changed its status so it should be 
   displayed in the registration form. However, it does not get displayed in the
   form, although I added the correct code (taken from the Newsletter Plugin website):
 * [newsletter_field name=”profile” number=”1″ label=”City”]
 * Instead of the field, I receive an error that the status of this field is set
   to “private” although this is definitely not the case. I checked this multiple
   times and changed the status settings back and forth. The field just does not
   get displayed in the form.
 * Hope someone can help figuring out what’s wrong. Is this a bug perhaps?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi all, just received a reply in the Newsletter Plugin Support Forum and learnt
   that this is indeed a bug. Does anyone know how to fix this with some custom 
   coding? Thanks!
