After creating a contribution page for membership dues payment, i included a Payment instrument profile in the contribution page. But when i test drive the page, the included profile did not show up on the contribution page. A message said some profile fields cannot ber configure for this page. What can i do? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response. You in Civicontribute menu, there is a Payment Instrument submenu which enables you to add different payment options like cash, Cheque, EFT etc. Now i created a new profile called Payment Details and under the field name, I selected contribution and then selected payments instrument as the field. I now added this profile to my contribution page so that users can select payment instrument from a drop down(either cash, cheque or EFT etc). But when i tested the page, the new profile does not show.

A message said some profile fields cannot ber configure for this page. What can i do?

We calculate the payment instrument on online contribution pages and for offline we give the drop down list of the options.

However, if you do want to over-ride the payment instrument field on online contribution page,
you may wanna apply the following patch :
