FAQ

Does this work with multisite?

Yes. It works awesome with the User Dashboard, too!

Can I add my own sections?

Yes. There are hooks to add/remove sections, their boxes, and fields.

See: wp-user-profiles/includes/hooks.php

Can I enable the modern profile layout?

Yes. Add this filter in a small plugin, an mu-plugin, or your theme’s code:

add_filter( 'wp_user_profiles_use_modern_styles', '__return_true' );

The classic layout remains the default unless the site owner enables this filter.

I thought I had finally found a plugin that was so simple and clean and worked right out of the box, then previous reviewer pointed out missing bill to / ship to addresses, this may be a Woo thing, but can you add the script to incorporate this, it would be the cherry on top 🙂

User profile page as it should be. EDIT: No billing and shipping address?? Why? (subtracted 1 star)

No entanglements into some profile system … just simple access to all user available fields with modern-ui, seamlessly in edit screens (and available to users directly in their admin profile section). I use Ultimate Member, and it tries to force people to some straight-jacket ways of managing profiles and profile fields. Trouble is that quite a few standard wp user profile stuff is left out by UM. This plugin plugs that hole superbly and makes me ponder about my continued usage of UM

This is a plugin that transforms WP User Profiles to what it should be. Highly recommended.

fotkin Onwa-abö 22, 2020

Hey, Great idea to organize items to tabs, but this thing didn't work with Members (https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/) plugin. Ability to select multiple roles just wasn't there, only ability to select one role, plus pressing Update would give an error.

Works perfectly including on multisite. Brings some logic and layout to the wordpress user profile. Hope it gets updated soon.
