Hi there,
Previously, for a user to choose whether the profile is public or private, you wrote:
1) Create a Usergroup called "Private Group" (child of Public usergroup)
2) Create a field called "Profile Type" of type Radio with 2 options:
1|Public
2|Private
3) Add condition to the new field like: If equal to custom value 2 then add to usergroup "Private Group" (Inverse: Yes)
4) Download and install attached plugin
5) Go to Extensions->Plugins and search for "Private Profile" plugin
6) Enable the plugin and check options to set the private usergroup to "Private Group"

I have done all the points, rechecked and still accounts with 2|Private are Public. Please advise
