Hey there,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

May i know what do you mean "How can a user edit their profile type"? Is it you have created multiple new profile type from your backend Easysocial > profile type, then you would like to know how the user edit their profile type from frontend?

If yes, unfortunately that was not possible edit the profile type from frontend and once they already registered in your site, they do not have permission to change their profile type, unless administrator help them to switch they profile type from backend.

Can you select more than one profile type? An example would be that you play more than one sport. Hockey and Soccer.

If now is there a way to add a sub category under Hockey to include Soccer?

Hello,

Can you select more than one profile type?
- I'm sorry, Easysocial can only have one profile type for one user.

If now is there a way to add a sub category under Hockey to include Soccer?
- May I know which category you are referring to? By the way, Easysocial does has a Group feature where you can have for example Hockey Group and Soccer Group.

I want to be able to communicate with Hockey players as well as soccer players using profile types. I do not want them to have to register twice.

Hello,

If that the case, it is not possible to have one user with two profile types.

this is what I was told could happen?


"And then make the soccer as a custom field for Easysocial (so not a real type)"

Is this correct? If so how do you do this?

Hello,

If you want to have it as custom field, you can do so by going to Backend>Profile Type>Custom Fields and add a dropdown custom field: http://screencast.com/t/n19OM25dos and the output will be like this: http://screencast.com/t/DU6pzeGnw
