 * Custom user fields can be added starting with [Hobbyist ](http://cozmoslabs.com/wordpress-profile-builder)
   version.
 * In order to display the same field info from admin in the edit profile, you need
   to go to Manage Fields -> Add new field, and give it the same meta name as the
   one from admin (e.g. ‘skype’) and make sure you check “Overwrite existing” from
   the field options.
 * This way the new field will recognize and display the same meta value as the 
   one from admin.
 * Hope this helps.
