### 󠀁[No longer supported](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-supported-61/)󠁿

To start with, the plugin already had poor compatibility with PHP 8.0 and seems 
like it is no longer supported since forum threads are not addressed.

### 󠀁[Why is it specific to forms /checkout](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-is-it-specific-to-forms-checkout/)󠁿

I simply want to add custom fields to members. But the documentation makes it sound
like this is very specific to add it to the forms/checkouts and users (why not MEMBERS?!).
I think it is a problem with the confusing documentation more than anything. I don’t
even really understand why a separate plugin is even required when the solution 
is purely custom PHP. I methodically followed all of the instructions regardless
and added the custom PHP but it displays absolutely nothing on the users or members
UI related to my new field.

This is definitely a useful plugin, but for a beginner I would not recommend. A 
beginner would most likely have trouble figuring this out, even after watching the
explainer video. With all the plugins that make adding personal fields by just creating
them from WordPress admin area (i.e. xProfile for BuddyPress) this plugin you have
to add another plugin on top of it just to be able to use it. Then you have to add
and edit the PHP code to make usable for your site. If this sounds like a lot to
you, save yourself the trouble and don’t install.

Complexity isn’t needed… It should be made simple

Best if you are a developer to use. My implementation was quite complex and I did
get it all working, but I did need some support to do everything needed.
