Description

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 their own profile page. If you want to apply your hook to ALL profile pages (not just the current user) then you also need to use the edit_user_profile hook.

Parameters

$profileuser

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

Default: None

Example

/**
 * 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 _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 _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);
