Hi,
is it possible to control the standard user fields with Toolset?

I would like to clean up the User profile page in backend area and leave only some specific fields, username and password.

Thanks

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset, as a woraround, you can disable the WordPress profile using custom PHP codes, for example:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/29000/disallow-user-from-editing-their-own-profile-information#answer-323264

Then setup a Toolset user form for editing user, with only one fields: password. (WordPress does not support editing username by default)
Display above user form in a WordPress page, use this page as user's profile page.

But in this case, it would be a front-end page, not in back -end, right?

Yes, you are right, the Toolset Forms works in front-end, it won't work as expected in admin side.

And there isn't exsisted hooks for changing the standard user fields of Profile page easily, you can check it in WordPress core file "wp-admin\user-edit.php":
hidden link

And I have searched it in google, found some related posts, for example:

For your reference.
