I want every user to get a profile in the front-end of my website. So I want to visit website.com/user/user-name and view all the information of this user. Is this somehow possible?
I would like to do this without a plug-in. All things I'll found on Google did include a plug-in like Front-End Only Users..
You need to do 2 different things to achieve this.
URL Structure:
Getting the URL in your desired format: http://website.com/user/username
By default, user's archive URL is something like this http://website.com/author/username
There is a plugin to change author slug, install this plugin and set the slug to user
Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rename-author-slug/
[Note: I'm the author of this plugin]
Displaying info:
Customize your author.php file in theme directory and show specific information.
In this file, you can get any of information a user has.
To get a user's display-name, simply use <?php the_author_meta('display_name' ); ?>
Or to get his first name, use <?php the_author_meta('first_name' ); ?>
I would do it slightly different. I have a similar case but I created a custom post type with a full custom structure on the profile of that user. Using ACF, I linked the user account to the post in the custom post file. That way you have full control over how the user profile is structured and whatever fields are needed.
<?php global $current_user; var_dump($current_user); ?>. For example:<?php the_author_meta( 'first_name', $current_user->ID ); ?>.
