I may be off with what I've got so far. It seems to work fine when the user first submits the registration form (I'm using the User Registration Addon).</p> <p>I'm adding extra fields to the user profiles in the backend like this - and it kind of works - but when you edit from the backend, the file path is wrong. I'd also like to just display the filename as a link to the full path.</p> <pre><code>add_action( &#39;show_user_profile&#39;, &#39;add_student_extra_profile_fields&#39; ); add_action( &#39;edit_user_profile&#39;, &#39;add_student_extra_profile_fields&#39; ); .... proper table setup to ... &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;label for=&quot;record_upload&quot;&gt;File Change&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;record_upload&quot; id=&quot;record_upload&quot; value=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( &#39;record_upload&#39;, $user-&gt;ID ) ); ?&gt;&quot; class=&quot;regular-text&quot; /&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;Please upload a scanned copy of your Academic Record, if available.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Uploaded Academic File&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;file-display clear&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( &#39;record_upload&#39;, $user-&gt;ID ) ); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( &#39;record_upload&#39;, $user-&gt;ID ) ); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; ... finish up the table etc. ... add_action( &#39;personal_options_update&#39;, &#39;save_student_extra_profile_fields&#39; ); add_action( &#39;edit_user_profile_update&#39;, &#39;save_student_extra_profile_fields&#39; ); function save_student_extra_profile_fields( $user_id ) { if ( !current_user_can( &#39;edit_user&#39;, $user_id ) ) return false; update_usermeta( $user_id, &#39;record_upload&#39;, $_POST[&#39;record_upload&#39;] ); }</code></pre>
