I have created a role called "renters." I am using CRED to setup frontend "registration" and "edit" renter forms.
My problem: I want to create a sortable table type View for Admins that includes my custom Renter user fields such as first name, bedrooms, neighborhoods etc. when these forms are submitted.
I have created a View using Users > Renters with renter user fields for filter and output settings. However when a new renter user completes the new user renter form or the edit renter user form none of the fields appear on the View.
Is there something special I need to do to accomplish this? What am I missing?
Dear Randi,
Are we talking about a user view, which is select wordpress users, and you are going to setup parameter search form on the user fields?
Views do not support parameter search form in user view, if you edit your view, in section "Parametric Search Settings", you should be able to see a message:
Only Views listing posts can have parametric search inputs.
If you just need to display the value custom user fields, how do you create the custom user fields?
If they are created with Types plugin, please try with Types shortcodes:

Hi:
I did not know User Fields were not Parametric Search compatiable.
I have chosen to create a User Role and use User Fields because I need the User (Renters) to be able to login and update their profile.
Could I achieve the same thing using a Renter Post Type and custom post fields? And set the author as the renter? Would the renter be allowed to login and update/modify their post without being a User?
Thank you.
Yes, I think you can achieve the same thing using a Renter Post Type and custom post fields, and you will need setup the author as the renter.
It is required to login as a wordpress user to edit their post, I suggest you try with Access to setup the access limitation:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/setting-access-control/
section "Managing Access Control for Posts, Pages and Custom Post Types"
Edit own – create new content and edit content that each user has created
