 * Hello wordpress users,
 * I want to extend the wp_users table in my WordPress database. Why? I want people
   to add more information about themselves when they sing up at my website.
 * I know how to extend it, but I’m afraid that when WordPress needs an update the
   wp_users table / columns I added will be deleted.
 * I there anyone here who has some experience with extending the wp_users table?
   Will this table be updated when the WordPress version is updated?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Unless you intend to start writing your own plugin, I’d suggest that you start
   looking for 1 or more plugins that provide this functionality for you.
