How to Display Registration Date on User Profiles in WordPress

User Registration Date

If you manage a site with registered members, it’s important to keep track of their registration dates to distinguish between new and long-time members. Many user profiles display their registration dates, and with ProfileGrid, you can easily choose where to show this information in WordPress user profiles.

ProfileGrid, a WordPress user profiles plugin, provides various fields that can be displayed on the frontend, including the registration date. In this article, we will show you how to display the registration date in WordPress user profiles using ProfileGrid.

Adding Fields to User Profiles

Go to the ‘Group Manager’ page. This page shows all the groups and its users.

Now in order to display registration date in WordPress user profiles, first, select a group. Then, click on the ‘Fields’ option at the bottom right corner. Select the ‘Date’ field.

You will be taken to the ‘New Field’ page, where you can set the content, position, and appearance of the field. You can also choose the privacy settings, decide if the field should be required or optional, and adjust other options

Now you just need to click on the save button to display registration date in WordPress user profiles.

Frontend Display

First, we need to make sure the Date field shows up on the registration form, as it needs to appear there before it can show up on the user profile.

In the frontend view of the registration form above, we can see the registration date field is now visible. Since it’s marked as a required field, users must enter a date when filling out the form. Additionally, the “Display on Profile Page” option is selected, which ensures the registration date appears in WordPress user profiles.

As seen in the frontend view of ‘User 2’s profile, the registration date is displayed in the ‘Profile’ section. This placement was chosen earlier on the ‘New Tab’ page.

Summary

In this article, we demonstrated how to display the registration date on WordPress user profiles, ensuring this important detail is visible to both site administrators and members. By adding the registration date field to your forms and choosing where it appears on profiles, you can better manage your site and keep track of member activity. These steps help enhance the user experience by providing transparency and clarity about user information.
