It meant that I needed to get the value from user_registered field in the users table, and then displaying it in Authors & Users page on wp-admin of WordPress. I have searched for the plugin regarding this, but I found nothing. Actually, I wanted to create the plugin to implement it. Unfortunately, I still have no idea how to do this, since I am not expert to create the plugin (probably someday I can do it). So I decided to edit the core file of WordPress. First of all, I opened the users.php file that located in wp-admin sub directory. After investigating this file for a few minutes, then I found the code regarding how to display the users list in template.php based on the code or function call user_row and get_column_headers. This template.php file located in /wp-admin/includes/ sub directory. So, here is the modification I made.

Open your /wp-admin/includes/template.php file, and find this code:

899
900
901
902
903
904
905
906
907

		case 'users':
			$_wp_column_headers[$page] = array(
				'cb' => '<input type="checkbox" />',
				'username' => __('Username'),
				'name' => __('Name'),
				'email' => __('E-mail'),
				'role' => __('Role'),
				'posts' => __('Posts')
			);

then replace with this following code:

899
900
901
902
903
904
905
906
907
908

		case 'users':
			$_wp_column_headers[$page] = array(
				'cb' => '<input type="checkbox" />',
				'username' => __('Username'),
				'name' => __('Name'),
				'email' => __('E-mail'),
				'role' => __('Role'),
				'posts' => __('Posts'),
				'user_registered' => __('Registered Date') // added by Masino Sinaga, January 13, 2010
			);

Find again this code:

1985
1986
1987
1988
1989

			default:
				$r .= "<td $attributes>";
				$r .= apply_filters('manage_users_custom_column', '', $column_name, $user_object->ID);
				$r .= "</td>";
		}

before the first line of that code, please insert this following code:

1984
1985
1986

			case 'user_registered':  // added by Masino Sinaga, January 13, 2010
				$r .= "<td $attributes>$user_object->user_registered</td>";
				break;

That’s all. Now, go to your wp-admin of your WordPress website, then see the Authors & Users page under the Users menu. You should see now the new column at the right most of the list named Registered Date. I had tested and it worked like a charm.

Please do not hesitate to leave your comment if you have a new idea how to implement this using the plugin in WordPress.

Hopefully this will help someone else out there.

Updated on October 5, 2011: That article above I wrote when the version of WordPress was under 3.0. I found a great plugin today in order to do the same function above. It is Recently Registered.
