# Custom Fields: Something went wrong

 * As a workaround to having users set their own post_format to then display it 
   with the proper template, I am trying to use Custom Fields and then have conditional
   statements in my template.
 * However when trying to add a custom field in WP User Frontend I’m getting a **
   Something went wrong** error, and no custom field created.
 * I’m going to try building the functionality myself by [extending the plugin](http://tareq.wedevs.com/2012/04/how-to-extend-wp-user-frontend/),
   but would love to see this awesome feature work.
 * I’m running a WP 3.5 Multisite.

 * I figured out how to determine post format directly, code is [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-user-frontend-set-post_format-when-adding-post?replies=3#post-3709483).
 * Also I think the custom fields error came from the fact I had not enabled the
   custom fields checkbox in WP User Frontend: Settings > Frontend Posting.
