How to Extend Profile Information?

  1. I am trying to transition from an Invision Power Board-hosted forum to a BBPress version, but need a few features to ensure all features are kept in the new version.

    Basically, I want people to be able to add more information to their profile information. Occupation and location aren't relevant to me, but other things (its for a college discussion forum, so year and major are more helpful) would be.

    It's a bit of a tangent, but I also would like to have one of the added fields (Real Name) be the primary name displayed in threads, but I figure that's another project for another day -- alternatively, is there a plugin to allow individuals to change their display name?

    Thanks so much for your help everyone!

  2. There is a "Use Display Name" plugin:

    There was also a "Custom Profile Fields" plugin, but I don't know if it still works or is being maintained:

  3. Thanks for the pointer to the "Custom Profile Fields" plugin, never saw it before.

    As for the "Use Display Name" plugin, I think that only works on a Wordpress-integrated install, and I'm trying to get it to work on a BBPress only site. Any ideas?
