    i'm using wordpres to develop a shop application. it turned out that the default fields in the user profile are not appropriate. for example i need to add a new field (phone) and want to remove some fields like instant massenger, etc

    is there a way to do this in my plugin code?

    thx for any help

    I know this answer is late but I only saw it while searching for another answer. I use userextra / useermeta extensively and no, it cannot hid the default user fields if you are talking abou the fields that are on the aurhor's original profile page.

    In order to hide the fields, you'd need to make changes to either profile.php or user-edit.php in the wp-admin folder. I don't know how to do that though so you may want to do a google search for that type of fix or post a new thread here about it.

    Good luck!
