 * I think I found the solution over here. Thanks for the great work on this plugin!

 * Hmmmm. No — when I open a form with this kind of extended user pod it gives me
   along list of all the WP user fields plus my new additions. When I limit the 
   list with the shortcode option to specify just my fields, it says:
 * >Error: User data is required but is either invalid or empty
 * when I try to submit the form. I used this kind of shortcode:
 * [pods name=”User” form=”1″]
 * 1/ The form appears.
    2/ All of it’s blank 3/ I minimized the fields to the ones
   I added 4/ But I get the “Error: User data is required …”
 * The form shortcode works fantastic for the Custom Settings. I was hoping it’d
   work the same way for the additional User data. I can see that the fields I add
   via Pods can be set through the WP-admin backend. But I was hoping to make it
   possible to edit from the frontend.
 * I noticed that “[pods name=”User”]” does not display anything.

 * Oh wait. Maybe I understand the “Custom Settings” incorrectly. Is that a set 
   of data that can apply to *all* users? Or is it only a single record?
 * Specifically I’m trying to do this:
 * > Users – Create and manage fields for your user/author profiles
 * And it’s unclear how I can attach the schema’d data from Pods to a WP user. I
   thought the way to do that was the Custom Settings feature.
