Add Custom Tab to User Profile Page with Views in Cheap WordPress maintenance support plans 8

On a recent project, I had to create a custom page which displays content by the logged in user, think of it as a “My articles” or “My blogs” page. I knew how to do it by writing code but I thought I’d try it with Views and see how far I could get without writing any custom code. Long story short, I was able to do it all by using just the Views plugin.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a page which will appear as a tab (local task) on the user profile page.

Getting Started

For once there are no extra plugins to download and install. In WordPress maintenance support plans 8, Views ships with core and will be automatically installed if you installed WordPress maintenance support plans using the Standard installation profile.

If it’s not already installed, go to Extend and install Views and “Views UI”.
