Adding Meta Fields to WordPress Registration

I did a lot of digging this week trying to figure out how to add additional fields to the user registration/edit forms on WordPress 4.9 and I wanted to do this without hacking the core. While there is a lot of information out there. no one really goes into the details on adding the fields.

To do this, was actually quite simple, open your theme's function.php file and add the following add_action hook's.

add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'show_extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'show_extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'update_extra_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'update_extra_fields' );
