To show the registration date in the WordPress users list, go to Nexter > Extensions > Security, switch on Advanced Security, enable Registration Date & Time and save. A Registered column then appears under Users > All Users with each person’s sign-up date and time.
WordPress does not show this by default, so you cannot see account age without a separate tool. With the Nexter Extension (Free) plugin it takes one switch and no code.
Best Used For:
- Membership sites that need to tell new users from established ones at a glance
- WooCommerce stores reviewing customer account age for loyalty programs or access rules
- Community sites tracking sign-up trends to gauge growth
Before You Start
- Nexter Extension (free) is installed and active. This option does not need Pro.
- You are logged in as an administrator.
How to Show the Registration Date in the Users List
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Nexter > Extensions > Security.
- Switch on the Advanced Security card. The Advanced Security popup opens. If it does not, click the gear icon (⚙) on the card.
- Switch on Registration Date & Time.
- Click Save.
- Go to Users > All Users. The new Registered column sits after Posts.
What the Registered Column Shows
Each row shows the date and time the account was created, in the date and time format you set under Settings > General. The column is display only. It is not sortable and it does not add a date filter to the Users screen.
To list users by sign-up date, you can run this WP-CLI command, which prints the newest accounts first:
wp user list --orderby=registered --order=DESC --fields=user_login,user_registeredTroubleshooting Common Issues
- The Registered column is missing: confirm that Registration Date & Time is switched on and saved. Then open Screen Options at the top of the Users screen and make sure Registered is ticked.
- The time looks wrong: the column uses your site timezone. Check Settings > General > Timezone.
- You cannot sort by the column: this is expected, since the column is display only. Use the WP-CLI command above or an export plugin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sort or search users by registration date?
Not from this column. It shows the date but does not add sorting or a date filter. Use the WP-CLI command above, or export your users and sort the file.
Does this need Nexter Extension Pro?
No. Registration Date & Time is available in the free plugin.
Can I also show when a user last logged in?
Yes. The same Advanced Security popup has a Last Login Date & Time switch. See How to Show User’s Last Login Date in WordPress.
