Hide custom fields on "Profile Edit"

[talkdownunder]

Hi,

I have a custom field "age" and need to update it with a cron job every mid night. Members only can be registered by admin and I want that field only appear to the site admin who use the edit page. Members can not see the field "age" on their "Profile Edit" page.

I use a custom filed to show edit to the admin, as there is no other way I can show the member age to the admin on the member edit page as changes done to the wp member edit page, will be lost on a future wp-updates.

And there is another field "first_time" to identify fist time login of the member, to show some messages to the member on his first login to the site. Currently that field also appear in the "Profile Edit".

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.


Thanks

Nad, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Could you please explain a little more? Thanks!

Simply put, how can I hide a custom field from "Profile Edit" page? while its available to edit by Admin in "User Edit" page.

Thanks

Ah ok. Did you see the option Allow Profile Edits in the panel to create a new Custom Profile Field? There's an option to make it invisible and not allow edits after registration, but as the admin you are exempt of that setting.

Ahhhh I'm soo dumb
This was a project ran in a fast phase.
Didn't have much time to test all the features, or I might simply missed it.

Thanks my friend

Cheers
