The problem<\/h4>\n

Anyone who would like to add a column to the edit users screen in the admin panel, listing a custom field like the age or membership status of a user, take a look.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/h4>\n

Here’s a basic working example plugin. Just add a folder ‘user-column’ to the plugins folder, put a file ‘user-column.php’ into this folder and paste the following code into the file:<\/p>\n

<?php\r\n\/*\r\nPlugin Name: Custom User Column\r\nVersion: 0.7\r\nPlugin URI: http:\/\/www.wpquestions.com\/question\/show\/id\/74\r\nDescription: WordPress 2.8+ only - Display Custom User Fields on Edit Users Screen\r\nAuthor: Oliver Schl\u00f6be\r\nAuthor URI: http:\/\/wpseek.com\/\r\n*\/\r\n\r\nfunction cuc_column_userfield( $defaults ) {\r\n  $defaults['cuc-usercolumn-userfield'] = __('Age', 'user-column');\r\n  return $defaults;\r\n}\r\n\r\nfunction cuc_custom_column_userfield($value, $column_name, $id) {\r\n  if( $column_name == 'cuc-usercolumn-userfield' ) {\r\n    \/\/if ( current_user_can('edit_users') ) \/\/ uncomment this to add a capability check\r\n      return get_usermeta($id, 'age'); \/\/ 'age' is the custom meta key\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n\r\nadd_action('manage_users_custom_column', 'cuc_custom_column_userfield', 15, 3);\r\nadd_filter('manage_users_columns', 'cuc_column_userfield', 15, 1);\r\n?><\/pre>\n
What does it do?<\/h4>\n
The plugin adds a column “Age” to the user listing page displaying a custom user meta key ‘age’. Change it for whatever custom meta key you like.<\/p>\n
