Parameters
More Information
This action hook is typically used to output new fields or data to the bottom of WordPress’s user profile pages.
This hook only triggers when a user is viewing another users profile page (not their own). If you want to apply your hook to ALL profile pages (including the current user) then you also need to use the show_user_profile hook.

This action can be used to add a form to the backend user editing screen and save some additional user meta data.
For example to add a field for the users birthday:
function userMetaBirthdayForm(WP_User $user) { ?> <h2>Birthday</h2> <table class="form-table"> <tr> <th><label for="user_birthday">Birthday</label></th> <td> <input type="date" value="<?php echo esc_attr(get_user_meta($user->ID, 'birthday', true)); ?>" name="user_birthday" id="user_birthday" > <span class="description">Some description to the input</span> </td> </tr> </table> <?php } add_action('show_user_profile', 'userMetaBirthdayForm'); // editing your own profile add_action('edit_user_profile', 'userMetaBirthdayForm'); // editing another user add_action('user_new_form', 'userMetaBirthdayForm'); // creating a new user function userMetaBirthdaySave($userId) { if (!current_user_can('edit_user', $userId)) { return; } update_user_meta($userId, 'birthday', $_REQUEST['user_birthday']); } add_action('personal_options_update', 'userMetaBirthdaySave'); add_action('edit_user_profile_update', 'userMetaBirthdaySave'); add_action('user_register', 'userMetaBirthdaySave');Expand full source codeCollapse full source code

Feedback
This example is wrong. You can’t pass this callback to user_new_form because that hook doesn’t pass an User object, just a string type. The very least this callback would have to conditionally use user object, not expect it to be there in all cases. Above code will throw a uncaught type error when adding a new user. Also see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/user_new_form/ — By Beda —
Example migrated from Codex:
/** * Show custom user profile fields * * @param object $profileuser A WP_User object * @return void */ function custom_user_profile_fields( $profileuser ) { ?> <table class="form-table"> <tr> <th> <label for="user_location"><?php esc_html_e( 'Location' ); ?></label> </th> <td> <input type="text" name="user_location" id="user_location" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( 'user_location', $profileuser->ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" /> <br><span class="description"><?php esc_html_e( 'Your location.', 'text-domain' ); ?></span> </td> </tr> </table> <?php } add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'custom_user_profile_fields', 10, 1 ); add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'custom_user_profile_fields', 10, 1 );Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
