Installing WordPress on MS SQL Server

Believe it or not, there are actually people out there who would like to run WordPress on SQL Server simply because MS SQL has many features MySQL can stand up to. I myself have WordPress running on my local machine using a MS SQL server 2005 database and have seen no ill effects from running it. Today I found a really nice walk through which I did not have the pleasure of reading before figuring it out all by myself.

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' );
