# Hidden field bug?

 * Hi,
 * Private WordPress site so can’t share link but may have found a bug for hidden
   fields in the auth0 WP advanced admin.
 * When I follow the docs and create a custom text field, the data show up no problem
   in the user meta in auth0 dashboard.
 * When I create a HIDDEN field following 100% the spec outlined in the docs and
   then look at the console errors, the browser JS console tells me that it is **
   ignoring the field because type is not “text, checkbox or select”**. (i.e. it’s
   telling me hidden isn’t allowed)
 * I’ve spent 2 days trying to work through or do work-arounds with JS and CSS, 
   hiding or modifying after the fact to no avail. Am I missing something or is 
   this a bug? I’ve literally copy/pasted the exact JSON from the docs and proved
   working versions of everything on it but every “hidden” field gives me the same
   error per above.
 * Suggestions?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@rgorrie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgorrie/),
 * If you’re using the default Lock (Auth0 login form) version in the plugin, then
   you’re probably on v11.5. The hidden field option was added in 11.9:
 * [https://github.com/auth0/lock/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v1190-2018-08-28](https://github.com/auth0/lock/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v1190-2018-08-28)
 * If you go to Auth0 > Settings > Advanced > “Lock JS CDN URL” and change that 
   to:
 *     ```
       https://cdn.auth0.com/js/lock/11.9/lock.min.js
       ```
   
 * … or anything later, then that capability will be there. Next plugin version 
   will update that to the latest.
 * Let me know if you’re still stuck after that change!
