MB User Meta

WordPress user profiles hold only a few basics: username, email and bio. That is not enough for a real estate portal that needs broker contact details and project portfolios, or a store that needs seller verification status and location. MB User Meta fills that gap by letting you attach extra fields to each user profile.

The plugin saves data through the native WordPress user meta API, so the fields work with existing WordPress functions and other plugins. You define fields with the same Meta Box syntax used for other content types, which keeps the learning curve short for developers. Administrators see the familiar WordPress interface, so little training is needed.

Features

• Custom user profile fields: Add extra fields to WordPress user profiles to collect information beyond the default username, email and bio, matching the needs of your site.
• Native user meta API: Field data is stored through the WordPress user meta API, which keeps it compatible with existing WordPress functions, third-party plugins and your own custom code.
• Familiar Meta Box syntax: Fields use the same syntax as other Meta Box content types, so developers who already know it can build and manage user profiles without writing complex code from scratch.
• Wide range of field types: Capture complex user data such as addresses, contact details, verification statuses and avatars using the field types and options the extension supports.
• Consistent WordPress interface: The fields follow the standard WordPress admin design, so site administrators can work with them without extra training.
• Lightweight architecture: Custom user fields are added without bloating the backend, keeping the admin area tidy as your profiles grow richer.
• Block bindings for author fields: Author fields can be used as a block bindings source, so profile data can be connected to blocks in your content.

Best for
