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');
