title: How to Create Frontend User Profiles in WordPress
body: <p>I had a look at this post - <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/9775/how-to-edit-a-user-profile-on-the-front-end">https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/9775/how-to-edit-a-user-profile-on-the-front-end</a> and it looks like it works well. Is the way it is written best practice or did it change with newer WP versions?</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know what the best way would be to create a frontend user profile for the WP users. They must be able to edit it in frontend and view it/visit it. </p>
  
  <p>I am new to WP and PHP so please explain the code or have comments in the code so that I can get a general idea of how it is put together.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to code it myself from scratch so please no user-plugin recommendations like buddypress. </p>
