Easy User Fields is a WordPress plugin that helps you create extra user meta fields by user roles. That’s simple: if you have more than one user in you WordPress install you need this plugin. Why? Because it’s so important to qualify your users that you have to keep in mind that all major companies collect hundreds of informations about everyone… and you have to do the same. This is what this plugin is about: collecting informations on you users for you to know who your users are. The more you know them, the more you can satisfy them.
1 – Separate your user by roles
First of all, with Easy User Fields, you can add as many user roles as you want: client, blogger, prospect, etc… That’s the first step to re-arrange your users database.
2 – Create custom fields by roles
For each roles you have created you can now create as may custom fields as you want in order to determine the informations you need/want to know about each user. You can create hidden fields that frontend users won’t see (for example a commercial comment), and you can also choose to make a field required. There are 7 types of fields you can create: title, text input, textarea, select, checkbox, multicheck and radio buttons. Re-ordering fields is made simple by a little drag n’ drop function.
3 – Let users modify their informations (or do it yourself)
Then, simply insert a shortcode in any page, and a form will be available to frontend users. They will be allowed to modify their informations, and your data will stay up to date! Of course you can also manage every users informations directly inside the WordPress administration.
4 – Administration
Restrict access to administration –
In settings, you can decide to give access to the administration or to disable it. There are many options that you can customize (minimum level required, redirection url, etc…)
Include custom fields in users search –
Still in settings, you can choose to add the custom fields you create inside the user search function… or not… set your own configuration!
And more…
