 * Hey there
 * I’m looking to add some new fields onto the User Registration screen so that 
   when I add new WP users, I can put some more info. I can’t seem to find out how
   to do this … heres what I’ve tried:
 * add_action(‘register_form’, ‘newFields’);
    add_action(‘show_user_profile’, ‘newFields’);
   add_action(‘edit_user_profile’, ‘newFields’);
 * and I would have thought that the register_form should work, but it doesnt do
   antyhing?
 * Any thoughts et much appreciated.
 * Thanks
 * Nick

 * register_form is for the wp-login form. I’m looking for the same thing right 
   now. Did you have any luck?

 * Sorry no no luck at all. I ended up hacking the WP core code to get it to work.
   I know the various issues with that ….
    In another project where I used the same
   function I just told them they had to create the users base info then edit the
   user to add the extra info.
 * Let me know if you find the answer ….
