Hey Garry, I had a similar question. I wanted certain fields to show in the profile but not in the registration form. The omit_fields does not work here.
This was the answer I got:
“What you could do for the fields you want on the edit profile page, but not on the registration page, is make those fields not required and then use CSS to hide them from the registration form.”
You can use the “Custom CSS” box in the “Basic” area of the “Options” tab to add in any custom styling you want.
An example of how to hide a specific field would be:
#ewd-feup-register-input-12, #ewd-feup-register-12 {
display: none;
}
So, the CSS modifications hid the field but not the labels associated with it. I still have to figure out how to attach an id= to the whole thing in the html so that I can filter it ALL out with the CSS.
Furthermore, the CSS modifications only worked when I made them with Googles Developer tools in Chrome. Adding them in the custom CSS field within the plugin interface had no effect at all.
Obviously, I still have some things to figure out but thats as far as I’ve got!
Hi Garry,
As you’ve noticed, there is currently no option to omit specific fields from the registration form. As @tmd123 mentioned, an alternative would be to make these fields not required and then use some custom CSS to hide them from the registration form.
Thank you for your input tmd 🙂

I know that there is no option, that is why I submitted the support request. Going in and trying to modify the css is not a valid solution, seeing that each template set has it’s own set of css that may or may not work.
What is your support email so we can discuss this and several other issues off the forum?
Hi Garry,
This has already been noted as a feature request. In the meantime, it only takes a few lines to hide a specific field from the registration form, as tmd noted above. And all custom CSS can be added to the “Custom CSS” box in the “Basic” area of the “Options” tab. And, by adding the CSS there, it will not be affected by any plugin updates.
