Extra User Details

Description

Extra User Details is the simple plugin that allows you to add extra fields to the user profile page (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn links etc).

Extra fields can be easily accessed in your templates like a general wordpress author details:

<?php the_author_meta('meta_key'); ?>

Plugin saves fields data in wp_usermeta table. You can add and edit extra fields at plugin options section in backend.

1. Upload extra_user_details folder or just extra_user_details.php file to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Ready to use. To configure, go to the Users – Extra User Details section

Simple & very useful extension

francisgernet September 26, 2019

This is a simple, but very useful extension. It’s unfortunate that it no longer seems to be maintained and remains confidential. Essential, I couldn’t do without it.

Superhero !! Thanks so much

Great plugin

mdietger September 3, 2016

Good plugin. Does what it says. What would make it a great plugin would be the support for the new wordpress REST api. Accessing the user data through the users endpoint a dedicated one would be great. https://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/

How to display the correct values in the frontend

Albert February 8, 2017

Took me a bit to get this out, since there is no help online. I wrote a little function and pasted it into my functions.php: function extra_user_info() { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'Your extra user info is' . $current_user->PUT_YOU_ID_HERE ; } add_action ('NAME_OF_HOOK_WHERE_YOU_WANT_IT', 'extra_user_info', 20);
