Title: Custom fields when adding new user Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Custom fields when adding new user * Resolved [pperliti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pperliti/) * (@pperliti) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-when-adding-new-user/) * Hi, i’m new with Pods and I faced a problem I don’t know how to manage. I extended the WordPress’s User object and I inserted a “telephone” field (required). When I edit an existing user I can see (and edit) the field “telephone”, but when I add a NEW user I cannot see the field (thus when I save WordPress complains about the missing required field “telephone”). Any idea of what I’m doing wrong? * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * [bonsak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonsak/) * (@bonsak) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-when-adding-new-user/#post-4255630) * Same behavior here. Sounds like a bug. You could pop over to [https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues?state=open](https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues?state=open) and report it there. * Regards Bonsak * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-when-adding-new-user/#post-4255659) * This seems similar to this issue: [https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/1809](https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/1809) * I can’t reproduce the issue though, with required fields or not. * I am testing with WordPress 3.7 and Pods 2.3.12. * Have either of you tried testing without any other plugins installed and default theme activated, so we can see if this is a plugin or theme conflict or not? * [bonsak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonsak/) * (@bonsak) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-when-adding-new-user/#post-4255680) * Strange. 3.7, Twentytwelve and only Pods 2.3.12 activated. But still no “telephone”- field in the new user screen. * -b * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-when-adding-new-user/#post-4255684) * We need to figure out what everyone who has this issue has in common that they don’t have in common with me. * Can everyone who has this issue please go to Pods Admin->Settings and copy the debug info up to Server Software and post it. Also please let me know whether you are testing locally or on a server, and if so, what type of hosting (shared/ VPS/dedicated/cloud/etc.)?

I have reproduced the issue and Scott and I found the source of the issue. Will be fixed in version 2.3.14.

If I don’t compile required fields i see a white page with “-field- is empty” and I can’t return to original page. Is it possible to use an alert box before submit? * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-when-adding-new-user/#post-4255775) * Glad to hear the issue is resolved. The behavior you are describing is built in to WordPress. I also agree that is not the best UX. The option to show a popup instead would make a cool plugin or core patch.
