What are the default WordPress User fields?

The WP_User class has the following core fields that you may want to capture at membership checkout. It’s important to use the exact field “key” so that captured fields are properly matched to the default profile field.

Field Key	Field Name
user_login	Username*
first_name	First Name
last_name	Last Name
nickname	Nickname
email	Email Address*
url	Website
description	Biographical Info

^* This field is already captured at Membership Checkout with a default Paid Memberships Pro setup.
