 * Below you see a screenshot and the code, I must have done something wrong as 
   you can see in the database screenshot, the values of the extra fields are not
   added in the database, looks like there’s no contact ^^,
 * Does anyone have any clue what a codenoob like me have messed up? =)

    [Database – nothing sadface](https://i.imgur.com/zAFM2GL.jpg)**
   Code added in functions.php**
 *     ```
       add_action( 'register_form', 'myplugin_register_form' );
       function myplugin_register_form() {
   
           $user_fname = ( ! empty( $_POST['user_fname'] ) ) ? trim( $_POST['user_fname'] ) : '';
           $user_lname = ( ! empty( $_POST['user_lname'] ) ) ? trim( $_POST['user_lname'] ) : '';
           $user_phone = ( ! empty( $_POST['user_phone'] ) ) ? trim( $_POST['user_phone'] ) : '';
   
               ?>
               <p>
                   <label for="user_fname"><?php _e( 'First Name', 'mydomain' ) ?><br />
                       <input type="text" name="user_fname" id="user_fname" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr( wp_unslash( $user_fname ) ); ?>" size="25" /></label>
