Facing Issue in Adding Custom Fields to User Profiles in NodeBB for RPG Forum

[Alexis Sanchez]

I'm new to NodeBB after switching from phpBB, and I'm trying to spice up user profiles for my RPG forum. I found a plugin called nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields, but it doesn't seem to work with the latest NodeBB version. Now, I've heard that without a plugin, you can't add custom fields to user profiles directly from the control panel. Is that true?

If it is, I could really use some help figuring out another way to add these custom fields. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a bunch!

@Alexis-Sanchez There's a guide I've written for working with custom user fields in the user hash, but front-end wise you're looking to have a custom theme add the fields to the profile pages.

Do you already have a custom theme?
