    Hi,

    How can I show the firstname, lastname and my custom extra fields in User–> Add New User in the admin area? (www.site.com/wp-admin/user-new.php)

    My site is invitation only, so I need to see the fields in my add user page in the admin area.

    Also how can I have my custom field to show just before Biographical Info?

    Thanks a lot and for the great plugin!

    Thanks and sorry for not checking the FAQ thoroughly first.

    I believe this is the answer to my question.

    A: Unluckily due to a WordPress limitation I can’t add Extra Fields into user-new.php but you can quickly add all the users you want using my plugin: Cimy User Manager – https://www.marcocimmino.net/cimy-wordpress-plugins/cimy-user-manager/

    Thanks for trying at least, I still need this feature as I need to add user with complete info once in awhile and I think it’s much efficient for me to just fill the data in instead of importing just one row of data.

    Anyhow, am not really a programmer but tried playing around the user-new.php and removing the condition…

    <?php if ( !is_multisite() ) { ?>

    above the firstname and lastname form fields showed the hidden field I want to show but no inputs are being written in the database. I also able to create a custom filed in there but the same result.

    How you can at least give advise how to have this write to the database.

    Thanks!

    As said, it is NOT possible. File a WordPress feature request.
