Hi,
How do I add new fields to the account information page in the dashboard. Currently, we have First name, Last name, Display Name, Email address, Current password, new password, confirm password. And then we have the Billing details.
In the registration form, I would like to add a url field and in the “account details” page, I would like to add a text area field which can be used by users to describe about themself which needs to be connected to the “Author description” feature so that users can fill it from the frontend.
Hi,
I already have the ACF plugin in my website. Can u pls guide me on how I can add the extra fields to the registration form. Do u mean to say that I need to add post taxonomy and use it in the registration form?
Hi,
Can you please help me with the above request.
Hello,
Depends if you need the field only on user profile (wordpress backend) or in other places too. To add those fields, you can use the ACF plugin – https://i.imgur.com/FheVZ0N.png. This field will be now be added in the user section in the backend – https://i.imgur.com/8Jt1gAW.png, this can be added on frontent in account details, for this you need to create a page and add the info you want includ the “Form input” element and select the new field for the user – https://i.imgur.com/143UAor.png save and edit the “My account page” https://i.imgur.com/IMEVw1Y.png there select the account settings for page account – https://i.imgur.com/bKUBpHp.png and check the custom pages tab, there set the id for the page you just made – https://i.imgur.com/qcRU2Y7.png
