 * hey. great plugin. really awesome.
    i’m just wondering if there’s a way to keep
   the wp members custom fields, which i set a required during registry, as mandatory
   later. same as the email and nickname. so that members, when they adjust their
   profile still have to provide some info. i know that i can add last_name, user_url
   etc in the wp user.php, however i don’t seem to be able to add the custom meta
   fields. any idea? thanks

 * I’m not 100% sure I understand your question.
 * Fields set as required are required for the plugin’s front-side registration 
   and when a user updates their info.
 * So, are we only talking about on the user profile page (i.e. back-end)?

 * Hey Chad. once again. amazing plugin. thanks a lot for the development!
 * Yes. i’m using [Front End Users](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-users/)
   plugin to allow my members to change their profile after registration. But also
   in the backend the user can change /delete the previously provided information.
   
   I don’t mind updating the information but want the fields to **remain required**.
   does this somewhat clarify my question? thanks again
