Title: New plugin – Usermeta Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # New plugin – Usermeta * [squish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squish/) * (@squish) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/) * Hia. * I’d like to announce my [Usermeta](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/Usermeta) plug- in, which provides an API for other plug-ins and themes to store meta information against users. It is beta. * This plug-in is based on the postmeta facilities of WP 1.5 and uses a similar table format and set of API routines. According to the Wiki change notes a user meta feature will be part of WP 1.6, however I have not seen this so I don’t know if my plug-in is entirely compatible. (Any help on this would be great – I’d rather not call this plug-in stable until I know I’ve got that right.) * Basically, the purpose of this plug-in is to associate name/value pairs against user ids and be able to retrieve them later. * Hope someone finds this useful. * James Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/page/2/?output_format=md) * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-263733) * I don’t know how far away 1.6 is … ahhh.. * I’m going to look at this tomorrow. * [roraz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roraz/) * (@roraz) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-263847) * could you explain or give examples of the particular applications of this plugin? * Thread Starter [squish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squish/) * (@squish) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-263900) * (sortof repeat from the other thread about Userextra) * How about: * `

Can anyone help me? * [jaycos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaycos/) * (@jaycos) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-264061) * Hey moshmonkey, additionally use the plugin Userextra to achieve that! Works great! * [moshmonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshmonkey/) * (@moshmonkey) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-264062) * I have Userextra installed, what I’m saying is that I don’t know what code I have to put into the author.php template to get my extra field values to show * [jaycos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaycos/) * (@jaycos) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-264063) * They are displayed under “Your Extended Profile”, a new tab besides “Your Profile”. Or do you want to move fields from there to the profile main page? That would be interesting for me, too. * [moshmonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshmonkey/) * (@moshmonkey) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-264064) * You still don’t seem to be getting what I’m asking, I know about the extended profile tab, but thats the ADMIN section. I need to know how to show the extra information in my author.php template, the frontend of my site. I have it on my site so that when you click on the linked author name of a post, it goes to a page that has their information on it, the author page, using the author.php template. I know that putting for instance * user_url; ?> shows the users website, I have this working. * But what do I need to show fields from userextra\meta??? * [jaycos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaycos/) * (@jaycos) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-264065) * Sorry, it was a long day… 🙂 * From the usermeta page: `This post written by who lives at get(get_the_author_ID()," address", true); ?> * …in case your field is called “address”. * [moshmonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshmonkey/) * (@moshmonkey) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-usermeta/#post-264066) * That doesn’t seem to work for me.
