I think I found the solution over here. Thanks for the great work on this plugin!

Hmmmm. No — when I open a form with this kind of extended user pod it gives me along list of all the WP user fields plus my new additions. When I limit the list with the shortcode option to specify just my fields, it says:
>Error: User data is required but is either invalid or empty
when I try to submit the form. I used this kind of shortcode:
[pods name=”User” form=”1″]
1/ The form appears.
2/ All of it’s blank
3/ I minimized the fields to the ones I added
4/ But I get the “Error: User data is required …”The form shortcode works fantastic for the Custom Settings. I was hoping it’d work the same way for the additional User data. I can see that the fields I add via Pods can be set through the WP-admin backend. But I was hoping to make it possible to edit from the frontend.
I noticed that “[pods name=”User”]” does not display anything.
Oh wait. Maybe I understand the “Custom Settings” incorrectly. Is that a set of data that can apply to *all* users? Or is it only a single record?
Specifically I’m trying to do this:
> Users – Create and manage fields for your user/author profiles
And it’s unclear how I can attach the schema’d data from Pods to a WP user. I thought the way to do that was the Custom Settings feature.
