iG:Custom Metaboxes is a WordPress plugin to provide an object oriented and clean API for creating custom meta-boxes on wp-admin post_type add/edit screens.
This plugin is more or less a library which is meant to be used in other plugins or themes. On its own this plugin does nothing, it has no UI nor any configuration to be set/tweaked. This plugin allows addition of HTML5 fields however the functionality of specialized fields like color picker, date picker etc. is browser dependent. The plugin does not add any JavaScript to make these fields compatible with browsers which don’t support HTML5 or which don’t add functionality to these specialized fields.
This plugin has been written with WordPress.com VIP compliance in mind, so you can use it as is even if you host your website with WordPress.com VIP.
Requirements: This plugin requires PHP 5.4 or better and is supported on WordPress 4.0 or better. It might work on a lower version of PHP or WordPress but no support would be provided for those platforms.
Pull requests on Github are welcome.

WP User Profiles

A great addition to the profile page and I look forward to extending it.

Works wonders for the Profile page

This plugin is genius. Documentation could be better, so for that matter, I'm sharing my code that I used to extend this wonderful plugin: https://github.com/bigwing/wp-user-profiles-custom

Great Work and Very Extensible

So Happy I Found This. I had spend a day testing plugins such as Ultimate Member, BuddyPress, Types to get me at least 70% to my goal. This plugin is best in class when it comes to cleaning up user profiles. Very lightweight, only deals with user profiles, and does not add in all the 'member' or 'social' aspects of other plugins. Wish I discovered this plugin sooner.

Have since forked it on GitHub and look forward to contributing. 

Great job!

Best in Class

Hey,
Great idea to organize items to tabs, but this thing didn't work with Members (https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/) plugin. Ability to select multiple roles just wasn't there, only ability to select one role, plus pressing Update would give an error.

Not working with Members plugin

This is a plugin that transforms WP User Profiles to what it should be. Highly recommended.

Using it everywhere
