 * Hi,
 * Not being a coder I am trying to figure out if I need your plugin. I am using
   a social login plugin that pulls user data from a social profile. But the WP 
   User profile doesn’t contain all the fields to accommodate the user data from
   social profile.
 * Please check Section 3a from my social login doc: [https://docs.oneall.com/plugins/guide/social-login-wordpress/](https://docs.oneall.com/plugins/guide/social-login-wordpress/)
 * It says I must extend the structure of my database and then use an action [see
   code on page]. Does your plugin “extend the database?” Would I create fields 
   with your plugin to match the user-data and identity in update_user_meta (above)?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fextending-database%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Our plugin create it’s own tables in the database, it doesn’t use user_meta. 
   But you also can save data to plugins custom db tables.
