  Hello,
  
  You are adding them to the contact methods array and it spawns only text fields. You should add them with the general action hooks. Using your example meta fields here's a sample code(duplicate the necessary chunks for other fields):

  In future versions of WP this is going to be easier, but until then we're stuck to such code :--)

    Thanks Ivaylo
    
    Lets I want to redo my...
    
    $user_contactmethods['Publication Location'] = __('Publication Location');
    
    ...in the same way so all my info is grouped together. Is it OK to have IDs with spaces?
    
    example...
    
    <select name="Publication Location" id="Publication Location">

    I'm not sure if space are allowed in IDs or in meta field names. It's better to not use spaces. Check how exactly are your current meta fields stored - if they contain spaces you can change them.
    
    I made some edits to the code - there were some errors. I've tested it and it saves properly.

    Thank you this worked...
    
    If I add some extra funds can you help me with this...
    
    I'm using the WP Front End plugin which pulls in the profile page onto the front end of my site.
    
    I add this code...
    
    

    <tr>
    
    
    
    	<th><label for="icl_admin_language"><?php _e( 'Language' ); ?></label></th>
    
    	<td>
    
    		<?php $value = get_the_author_meta( 'icl_admin_language', $user->ID ); ?>
    
    		<select name="icl_admin_language" id="icl_admin_language">
    
    			<option value="en" <?php selected( $value, 'en' ); ?>>English</option>
    
    			<option value="es" <?php selected( $value, 'es' ); ?>>Espanol</option>
    
    			<option value="it" <?php selected( $value, 'it' ); ?>>Italiano</option>
    
    		</select>
    
    	</td>
    
    
    
    </tr>

    
    
    on line 160 in wpuf-editprofile.php
    
    I've attached the plugin (my version) here http://wtrns.fr/IU8ZCHJb1SFujda
    
    
    The select field now appears on my front end...
    
    but when I submit, it does not register the changes. I'm not sure where to put the code so when the form submits, it registers this field.
    
    If you can figure it out, can you tell me where to add the code so I can do it for my other custom meta fields.
    
    Thanks
