“Manage User Columns” is a small plugin that allows you to manage the user fields displayed on the users list page in the WordPress dashboard area.
The new fields will be added as columns with other user information. All new columns will be sortable.
You can add default user fields like registration-date, custom fields added by other plugins or custom code, and remove any default or custom field from the Users list table.
Removing columns will not delete any user data. So, you are safe to toggle between these columns.
This plugin adds a new column “Registration Date” as a default column which you can enable/disable easily.

Hi,
Manage User Columns, is a little effective tool, but in the latest WordPress version (WordPress 6.9.1) I can’t delete added colums. The red cross for custom colums to delete is just missing. Can you check and fix it. then I can give you 5 Stars. Yes I know it was not testet. But it is a small tool and it is easy to use. It do anything I need.
Sweet little thing – but does not allow to suppress these columns: Comments, Last login, Failed login attempts, Registered
So I had to install the much larger plugin (grr) “Admin Columns”. Which also allows you to set the width of the columns.
Merci pour cette super extension bien pratique. Elle apporte la fonctionnalité qui manquait à WordPress. Vraiment utile et pratique !
Thanks for this simple and great extension. Bring the function that was missing. Really useful and convenient.
Works, i can see my custom field data, but does not sort my custom fields.
Great plugin. Does the job well. Few User column management options out there but this does it well and for free. Used it to figure out which customers didn’t enter certain details and were most likely spam accounts. Thank you for this great plugin!
One thing it seems that sorting the columns does so by name of the user, rather than the new column would be selected. Would be nice to have columns with no details entered to come first or last based on the admin’s selection.
