Hi!

I can’t seem to find a plugin that allows me to add what I think are called profile fields in phpBB, for bbPress. I don’t want a bridge plugin. I’m looking to completely swap out phpBB for bbPress, but having users be able to link their Twitter, Website, Skype etc. is a huge deal for my website.

Basically I want my users to be able to add their social media in the user settings and have it show up in their description on posts.

Any recommended plugins for this job?

This will do what your after, you can customize this to your hearts content, add 1 or 1,000 extra profile fields, the fields will dynamically register into bbPress user profiles and templates 🙂

Wow, thanks! I’ll add this to bbPress with the_author_meta(), correct?

Just download it and activate it like a typical plugin 🙂 And of course make any changes your wanting to make copy and pasting those lines to add more should suffice 🙂
