 * Hey, people.
 * Could anyone enlighten me as to how one should go about adding extra fields to
   the WordPress registration form? Is there a way to do this, using a plugin or
   otherwise?
 * For example, the default wp-register.php page lets users register by selecting
   a Username and entering their e-mail address. If I wanted to add two more fields(
   say, Name and Age), how should I go about doing that?
 * Thank you for your time 🙂 I’d be really grateful for any help regarding this.

 * take a look at wp-register.php
    see how it adds the user data to the db tables.
   if you’re skilled enough, you can add fields and put them on wp_meta table. you
   can even change it to use a user defined password.

 * dbasulto: Thanks for your prompt reply. I have a couple of questions. Can I just
   add the extra fields using phpmyadmin? And do I need to edit any table apart 
   from wp_users_meta?

 * to add user data to your registration pages or to your user profile pages you
   can try the [**cimy extra fields plugin**](http://www.cimatti.it/blog/2006/12/19/wordpress-user-extra-fields-en/).
   It’s all ready to go all you need is follow the instructions.
