And yes I did select radio button to show on Front-end as yes. The preview also shows what it should look like but when I go to my product it only says "Specifications" and does not show the field in which my shoppers can enter the info. Any ideas here.

What's the difference? Does it have to do with options? 1. Also can you specify the field for a certain product within a category or is it only for categories? 2. Is there a way to create a text heading above all the custon text fields. For example "Fill out Form" 3. Can I move the custom text fields for the product display below the "add to cart" function? Thanks! I suppose you can move this out of "Bug Report" since I'm the bug ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") I don't know how to do that.

So the fields appear in the product edition page, not the product page. With "item" custom fields , it's your customers who can add information to the products they buy. 1. You can only restrict custom fields to categories. However, since one product can have several categories, you can always create a new category, leave it unpbulished, add it to your product and use it in your custom field so that the custom field will only display for that product. 2. You mean like a custom field of the type "custom text" ? ![:p](/media/kunena/emoticons/14.png ":p") 3. Yes. you need to edit the file "show" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and move the code: <div id="hikashop_product_quantity_main" class="hikashop_product_quantity_main"><?php $this->row =& $this->element; $this->ajax = 'if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'item\',\'hikashop_product_form\')){ return hikashopModifyQuantity(\''.$this->row->product_id.'\',field,1'.$form.'); } else { return false; }'; $this->setLayout('quantity'); echo $this->loadTemplate(); ?> </div> <?php before the code: if(!$this->params->get('catalogue') && ($this->config->get('display_add_to_cart_for_free_products') || !empty($this->element->prices))){ if(!empty($this->itemFields)){ and change the line: $form = ''; to: $form = ',\'hikashop_product_form\''; Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8zMjQ5OS1jdXN0b20tZmllbGRzLW5vdC1zaG93aW5nLXVwLWluLWZyb250LWVuZD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[gteigland](/forum/user/4840-gteigland "View gteigland's Profile")** - [![gteigland's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/4840-gteigland "View gteigland's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/4840-gteigland) Less More - Posts: 41 - Thank you received: 0 - - 14 years 10 months ago [\#32847](#32847) by [gteigland](/forum/user/4840-gteigland "View gteigland's Profile") Replied by *[gteigland](/forum/user/4840-gteigland "View gteigland's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Custom Fields Not Showing up in Front-End](/forum/3-bug-report/32499-custom-fields-not-showing-up-in-front-end#32847 "I created a custom field to show up for my products after purchasing the business edition.
