# Custom registrations fields not saving data

 * I have added a number of custom registration fields to the registration form 
   following the instructions in the documentation. However, a new registrations
   first name and last name does not appear in the WordPress user database when 
   I edit the user from the back-end, but when I am logged in as that user and I
   edit the profile, the data entered when the user registered is there and can 
   be edited.
 * For a user that already exists, the problem is the opposite. Their details appear
   in the back-end, but when they try to edit their information while logged in,
   the data does not appear.
 * I have also got fields such as Job Title and Company, which are not fields that
   currently exist in the WordPress database. Is there a way I can add these fields
   to the database?
 * Thanks in advance.
