I have a text area field "cb_bio" that I want to appear on profiles only for certain users. To do this, I have used a CB conditional "field conditional self" to check the value of another field: cb_bio is shown only if the other field holds the value "author".
This works for showing the field on relevant profiles. However, for some reason, when that conditional statement is included, the user is unable to edit the field from the front end of the site. Back-end editing by a super-admin still works. Front end editing by the user functions normally if the conditional statement is removed.
What is your condition exactly. It's possibly it's passing in PHP, but failing in JS. For example if the field it is conditioning off of is not available in profile edit then the JS condition will always fail and you need to use a static condition for that. To setup a static condition you need to change its usage to Custom > Value then substitution in the field for Value as [FIELD_NAME].

Thanks krileon. OK, the field that it is conditioning off is not available in front-end profile edit.
Could you possibly elaborate on setting up a static condition? I'm afraid I don't understand this sentence:
"To setup a static condition you need to change its usage to Custom > Value then substitution in the field for Value as [FIELD_NAME]."
Since the field is not available in profile edit the jQuery based conditioning can not function as it can't find the field to check its value. This is a known issue that I'll be addressing in a later release, but for now the following condition usage can workaround that problem.
Display: Field conditional self
Field: Custom > Value
Value: [FIELD_NAME]
Translate Value: No
Operator: Equal To
Value: VALUE
Translate Value: No
Mode: Show
Where FIELD_NAME is you'd supply the field name of the field cb_bio is conditioning off of to substitute in its value for a static condition. Example as follows.
Display: Field conditional self
Field: Custom > Value
Value: [cb_profiletype]
Translate Value: No
Operator: Equal To
Value: author
Translate Value: No
Mode: Show
