Question

I have a Select custom member field, how do I display this in the Freemember registration form?

it is called "school", the below code does not seem to work, maybe I am doing it wrong?

Answer 1

Your code works fine for me, so here are some things to check:

• Make sure you running the latest version of FreeMember
• Make sure you spelled the custom field correctly. Do you have a prefix that you use for the custom member fields or anything?

Answer 2

I couldn't get this to work unfortunately.

I ended up using a custom member field name in a select drop down populated by categories, so the client could update and change the list options. Thanks
