Hi,
There has been a while since a last worked on this site, (hidden link) and I hope that you can help me get started up again.

I would like to make a user managment part of this site.

1: Register users with custom fields
2: Allow the user to edit their profile
3: Present part of the user info on a "archive" All the users on one page, but only certain parts of their info.

I hope that you are able to tell me where to start. Should I make a custom post type to hold the profiles? Or should this be made using the user forms parts included in toolset?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

You'll find useful information about user registration and profile management, in our lesson at:
https://toolset.com/course/wordpress-directory-and-classifieds-sites/

More specifically:

1: Register users with custom fields:

https://toolset.com/lesson-placement/lesson-placements-1622969-1634711/

2: Allow the user to edit their profile:
https://toolset.com/lesson-placement/lesson-placements-1622969-1622355/
https://toolset.com/lesson-placement/lesson-placements-1622969-1655453/

3: Present part of the user info on an "archive" All the users on one page, but only certain parts of their info.
To show a customized list of users, you can create a new view and set it to show the users, using the classic views editor.
( taxonomy and user views are not currently supported in the blocks based editor )

You can store the user's data directly through user custom fields, but using a dedicated custom post type for user profile data is helpful in the following cases:

1. When you need to connect users with posts in multiple post types.
And/Or
2. When you need to use custom search filters with the user profile data.
