 * I’ve added a custom database connection in Auth0 that has custom attributes. 
   How can those attributes be saved to the WordPress profile upon login?

 * When someone logs in, WordPress pulls all of the user profile data from Auth0,
   which can be a lot. If you go to Users in the Auth0 dashboard and click on a 
   user there, basically everything under “Metadata” and “Identity Provider Attributes”
   is saved. So it’s likely that you have it in `usermeta`.
 * That said, we don’t have an out-of-the-box way to display or edit that data at
   the moment. Displaying is fairly simple for the key/value types (picture, name,
   last login) but the custom metadata can be structured in many different ways 
   to how it should look on the profile is hard to guess.
 * If you’re working with a developer, that data is saved to a `wp_auth0_obj`meta
   key in the `usermeta` table. You can see how that can be pulled out here:
