Hi Steven,
I’ve created custom fields and would like to make them hidden.
I’ve successfully created the custom fields via your QuickTips.
However, I populate one of these fields programmatically and do not want an editor/admin to see or modify the content of this field.

I tried replacing ‘text’ with ‘hidden’ in the custom field definition but it removes it completely from the form.
After creating the custom field, if I remove the script from QuickTips so it does not appear on the update screen, that custom field then shows up in the WordPress Custom Fields section of the member’s update screen.
Any suggestion on how to make this hidden to editor/admin?
Thanks!
Randy

So, you need the field in the form, but hidden, correct? Untested but you should be able to this…

Change the field type from text to hidden in your existing code.

Add the code to the snippet:

add_action( 'cn_meta_field-hidden', 'cn_register_custom_hidden_field', 10, 3 );

function cn_register_custom_hidden_field( $field, $value, $entry ) {
    cnHTML::input(
        array(
            'type'    => 'hidden',
            'prefix'  => '',
            'class'   => '',
            'id'      => $field['id'],
            'name'    => $field['id'],
            'readonly' => isset( $field['readonly'] ) && TRUE === $field['readonly'] ? TRUE : FALSE,
            'before'  => '',
            'after'   => '',
        ),
        $value
    );
}

Hope that helps, let me know.
