I will look into helping you with hiding the total registered. Regarding the custom fields, check two things: 1) Go to the Custom Fields Manager and make sure the field is published 2) Go to the Manage Registrations area, enter the event that you want the custom field to show on. By default, the custom fields are NOT set to be shown in the forms as this enables you to set the fields on some forms and not others. Set the custom field to YES then save. The field will now show. Thanks.
