• Do you have phone number setup? I mean can your user add phone numbers in their profile? – Robert hue Commented Sep 6, 2014 at 11:08
• no .. I just want to know how to add .. its not fix that contact number only .. its can b just a blank column also – Rohil_PHPBeginner Commented Sep 6, 2014 at 11:09
• 1 If your site had a lot of custom columns, you might be interested in a plugin called Admin Columns. – somebodysomewhere Commented Jun 1, 2016 at 19:13

• For the non-coders, there is a plugin Advanced Custom Fields. (Google leads to this page, too. Newbies might not know all plugins of WordPress) – koppor Commented Jul 12, 2020 at 13:37

Ok, Here is the code to allow your users to add phone numbers. Paste this full code in functions.php file. This will add new field on user profile for "Phone Number" and add a column user table on WordPress admin for phone.

function new_contact_methods( $contactmethods ) {
    $contactmethods['phone'] = 'Phone Number';
    return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'new_contact_methods', 10, 1 );


function new_modify_user_table( $column ) {
    $column['phone'] = 'Phone';
    return $column;
}
add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'new_modify_user_table' );

function new_modify_user_table_row( $val, $column_name, $user_id ) {
    switch ($column_name) {
        case 'phone' :
            return get_the_author_meta( 'phone', $user_id );
        default:
    }
    return $val;
}
add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'new_modify_user_table_row', 10, 3 );

EDIT

To add two columns you need to make some changes. Compare both codes to understand.

function new_modify_user_table( $column ) {
    $column['phone'] = 'Phone';
    $column['xyz'] = 'XYZ';
    return $column;
}
add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'new_modify_user_table' );

function new_modify_user_table_row( $val, $column_name, $user_id ) {
    switch ($column_name) {
        case 'phone' :
            return get_the_author_meta( 'phone', $user_id );
        case 'xyz' :
            return '';
        default:
    }
    return $val;
}
add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'new_modify_user_table_row', 10, 3 );
