Hi @7from1

I hope you are doing well today.

Based on you screenshot it seems you have placed title of “Biographical Info” as label. Note this cannot be title of that field but label, which is in case is “description”. Please change in Custom User Meta “Biographical Info” to “description” and this should help to map that field.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hello, I have another question. It appears this method works for single fields. Any thoughts on how I can place the url Formintor field variable {col-8} on the URL field (right side, pm-col-8) ?

YouTube (URL) [Text URL (pm-url-8[text])] [Link URL (pm-url-8[url]) ]
```
<div class="pm-col">
            <div class="pm-form-field-icon"></div>
            <div class="pm-field-lable">
                <label for="pm-url-8">YouTube</label>
            </div>
            <div class="pm-field-input pm_user_url ">
                <input title="" type="text" class="" maxlength="" value="h" id="pm-url-8" name="pm-url-8[text]" placeholder="Link Text">
                <input title="" type="url" class="" maxlength="" value="h" id="pm-url-8" name="pm-url-8[url]" placeholder="URL">
                <div class="errortext" style="display:none;"></div>
            </div>
            
        </div>
```

Hi @7from1,

That field doesn’t seem to be part of the default WP fields, so what we could comment on by just checking the source code is limited. Which plugin is adding those fields?

Maybe you could check the following one and see whether it helps:
```
pm-url-8[text]
pm-url-8[url]
```
The screenshot only shows using “pm-url-8”. If the above doesn’t help then you’ll have to check on the database side for the correct “meta_key”.

If checking DB doesn’t help much, then I’m afraid you’ll have to check with the respective plugin support on what would be the correct meta_key.

Please do let us know how that goes.

Kind Regards,

Nithin

Of course Nithin, thank you for looking into this, and will keep you posted. If you’re interested, I am using ProfileGrid. Unfortunately, the pm-url-8[url] did not work, and will follow your suggestion of contacting them to see if there is a way to convert that Text URL field into a single field (or similar):

Hi @7from1,

Since it’s a 3rd party plugin what we know regarding its workflow is limited, however, I gave a quick check and it seems like the Youtube field only consists of a Text URL field when tested.

Is that the default Youtube field from the plugin added? Maybe I’m missing its workflow, so it would be ideal to hear what the respective plugin support has to say regarding converting the URL field to a single field as you have stated.

Kind Regards,

Nithin

Hi @7from1,

I checked the ticket URL mentioned above. I hope the plugin author could help with a workaround to create a new field which should help.

HI @7from1,

In the meantime, feel free to review the ticket URL mentioned above

I’m afraid, what we could comment on is limited as the query is more specific to the mentioned plugin.

However, the plugin does provide the option to add new Text fields. Maybe use the Text field instead of the URL field?

Doesn’t adding it as a text field help? I do see it does provide user_meta_key for text fields when added so maybe you could try that out?

Please do note that I haven’t fully tested the ProfileGrid plugin out and I’m not fully versed with the workflow of the plugin, so I could be missing out on how it works. What I mentioned is more of a suggestion.

Kind Regards,

Nithin
