Hi Elliot,

thanks for the great plugin – one question: I’m currently working on a community install of WP/BuddyPress. I hadn’t looked at BP for a while because the integration with WP wasn’t as good as I had hoped for, particularly with respect to

I’m a bit confused about ACF’s capabilities with respect to custom user meta.

In a couple of threads on the support forum it reads as if it is currently possible to use ACF to input custom user_meta fields on the profile page –

while on this one it says it’s impossible in the current version. If it is currently possible, could you point me to a tutorial about how to add an appropriate location rule because I apparently am unable to get it working, even trying the custom technique outlined here –

Maybe my grasp of the plugin’s structure is insufficient, but I can’t get this done.

If it is currently impossible to do this as appears to be stipulated by this thread, is it possible to indicate a time range when it might be?

Thanks for a brief reply!
