Description

Hooks above the "Name" section of profile page. This is typically used for adding new fields to WordPress profile pages.

This hook only triggers if a user is viewing their own profile page. There is no equivalent hook at this point for injecting content onto the profile pages of non-current users.

Parameters

$user

(object) (optional) The WP_User object of the user being edited.

Default: None

Example

// This will show below the color scheme and above username field
add_action( 'profile_personal_options', 'extra_profile_fields' );
    
function extra_profile_fields( $user ) {
    // get the value of a single meta key
    $meta_value = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'meta_key', true ); // $user contains WP_User object
    // do something with it.
    ?>
    <input type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $meta_value ); ?>" name="value" />
    <?php
}
