    ```

Plugin saves fields data in wp_usermeta table. You can add and edit extra fields
at plugin options section in backend.

    wp-content/plugins/` directory

This is a simple, but very useful extension. It’s unfortunate that it no longer 
seems to be maintained and remains confidential. Essential, I couldn’t do without
it.

Good plugin. Does what it says. What would make it a great plugin would be the support
for the new wordpress REST api. Accessing the user data through the users endpoint
a dedicated one would be great. http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/

Took me a bit to get this out, since there is no help online. I wrote a little function
and pasted it into my functions.php: function extra_user_info() { global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'Your extra user info is' . $current_user->PUT_YOU_ID_HERE;}
add_action ('NAME_OF_HOOK_WHERE_YOU_WANT_IT', 'extra_user_info', 20);
