 * You guys highlight a “Custom Fields” feature on your page but do not actually
   support this via the GUI.
 * Perhaps, I’m wrong and if so, how the hell does someone add a custom field to
   the user profile so that it can be displayed globally across the website?
 * If we must manually add it to the code, then you should STOP highlighting “Custom
   Fields” as a feature because it’s misleading.

 * Hi [@mikejaim3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejaim3/),
 * Please go to Ultimate Member->Forms->Your Form (Edit) inside the dashboard. Then
   click the (+) icon, you should be able to Setup New Field from here. These fields
   are custom fields, there is also a list of predefined field available right below
   them. Once you create a new field, it will be available as custom field under
   the predefined field and you can use these fields in any um forms. You need to
   add the field in profile form to show it in user profile. However, if the field
   doesn’t have any value it won’t show up in frontend. User need to edit the profile
   and save the value to show the field in frontend. You can also set a default 
   value when creating your custom field to show it up in frontend.
 * Thanks.

 * And how do we create a custom validation for a field, say like validating a person
   Id Number or some specific data?

 * Thanks, but where do I put this code. I looked at all examples and there was 
   no indication of where to put it.

 * Hi [@zeitgeist_14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeitgeist_14/),
 * You can put custom codes in your child theme’s functions.php file.
 * Thanks.
