# Profile

As administrator you have the ability to add profile fields which the user fill out, to complete their profiles.

## Creating Profile Fields

Simply go to WP admin - Users - Profile Fields and you can add custom profile fields.

Profile fields can be grouped into Profile Field Groups. To create a profile field group :

The Primary field group is also displayed on BuddyPress registration page that you set at WP admin - Settings - BuddyPRess - Pages - Register ( requires WP Admin - settings - general - anyone can register )
