Edit Custom Register Fields After Registration?

    I have created several custom fields for the default registration form. After registering as a new user, I am unable to edit any of those custom fields I added. Some need to be edited, such as the users address in case they move in the future.
    The user currently cannot edit any of that. And, neither can I as an admin, edit or even see any of that information unless it is set to show on the users profile

    How can I allow these fields to be edited by the user after registering?

    Hi @empmdk,

    Have you added these fields to the profile form?
    Please go to the filed settings and make sure that the “Privacy” is set to everyone.

    Regards.

    I’ve tried adding the same fields to the profile form. However, if I do that, wouldn’t it require people to enter the same information more than once?
    For example, during registration, they have to enter their address as a required entry. If I add another address field into the profile form, they would have to enter it again since it does not allow the same meta key to be entered more than once.

    Also, if I made it a different meta key and have them enter it twice. Then, if we do a member export to CSV, it would have more than one address for the member if they moved and change their address in the profile form.
