How I add custom field here

______ <- Custom field

I want it so that users can input whatever they want in there.
I tried going to profile field manager and I was able to create a single-line text box but when
I fill it out, it shows up on my user profile but not in the posts.

Screenshot attached.

I had the same problem..

I solved it by searching this line in the postbit_legacy template:

then adding the following line after the one above:

At the profile field manager there is a field number in the cell called "name". You have to replace both XXX by the number of your custom profile field..

Thank you so much that help alot!

But do you know what to do about

Instead of saying Location: I want it to say PC Model:

This is already in the template.. The part in the <dt> tags is for the field names. For example, location_perm is for the location. The one in the <dt> tags is what will show up as "Location:" under the username. The part in the <dd> tags is what the user enters.

If you want your field to have a description left to the user entry, you can add whatever you wish in the dt tags before the <dd> tags..

This would make "Your Text: usertext" left to the posts, while the example above will make just "usertext" without a description in front of it.

I hope this helps..
