Tell us what you are trying to do? I am creating a user registration form and I want to include a field for the user_url with is already part of the wordpress database.

There's a shortcode for displaying the user_url in the profile but I can't add a field to any user form for editing the user_url field. It doesn't show up in the field controls either.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes, that's correct. There isn't a built-in option for the "Website" field, but I've a workaround that will help you to achieve what you looking for.

As a workaround, you can add a generic field for the user to input his website URL to your form.

For example:

[cred_generic_field field='user_url' type='url' class='' urlparam='' placeholder='<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;
    {
        "required":1,
        "validate_format":1,
        "default":"",
        "persist":1 
    }
[/cred_generic_field]
