What it does

Many sites need users to sign up, log in and keep their details current, but the default WordPress flow sends everyone to the admin dashboard. That feels out of place for visitors and gives them a view of the backend you may not want them to have. This plugin moves those tasks to the frontend, so registration, login and profile editing happen on regular pages that match the rest of your site.

Because it builds on Meta Box, you can attach custom fields of any type Meta Box offers to your user forms, from WYSIWYG editors and sliders to date and time pickers and file uploads. Forms go anywhere through shortcodes, including page content, widgets and custom PHP functions. If you also use MB Builder, you can lay out forms visually with drag and drop. It covers user meta fields too, so you no longer need the separate MB User Meta plugin.

Best for

Sites where users register and manage their own profiles
Developers already building custom fields with Meta Box
Agencies setting up frontend user accounts for client sites

Features

Frontend registration and login

Add registration and login forms to regular pages so visitors can create accounts and sign in without going through the WordPress admin area.

Frontend profile editing

Users can update their own profile details from a form on the front of your site, keeping them out of the dashboard entirely.

Custom fields of every type

Add as many custom fields as you need using any field type Meta Box supports, including WYSIWYG editors, sliders, date and time pickers and file uploads.

Shortcode placement

Embed forms using shortcodes in page content, widgets or custom PHP functions, giving you control over where each form appears.

Visual form building

With MB Builder installed, you can design user profile forms through a drag and drop interface instead of writing code by hand.

Built-in user meta support

Full support for user meta fields is included, so the separate MB User Meta plugin is no longer needed on your site.

Separate forms for data groups

Clone fields and forms to create variations, such as one form for general information and another for bank account details.

Cloudflare Turnstile support

Forms can use Cloudflare Turnstile, giving you a way to check that submissions come from real people.

Questions about MB User Profile

Do I need Meta Box to use this plugin?

Yes. It is built as an add-on for the Meta Box plugin, and its custom fields come from Meta Box. You will need Meta Box active on your site for the user forms and fields to work.

Can I collect extra information from users when they register?

Yes. You can add unlimited custom fields to your user forms using any field type Meta Box provides, such as file uploads, date and time pickers, sliders and WYSIWYG editors. That lets you gather whatever details your site needs.

Can I build the forms without writing code?

Forms can be placed with shortcodes, and if you also use MB Builder you can design them visually with drag and drop. Without MB Builder, fields are set up the usual Meta Box way.

Does it replace MB User Meta?

It does. MB User Profile includes full support for user meta fields alongside its frontend editing, so you can remove MB User Meta and keep your plugin setup simpler.
