Are you looking for a way to display the latest 5 registered members? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to list last five registered users in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s index.php file:
<h2>Latest registered users</h2>
<ul>
<?php
$usernames = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT user_nicename, user_url FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 5");
foreach ($usernames as $username) {
echo '<li><a href="'.$username->user_url.'">'.$username->user_nicename."</a></li>";
}
?>
</ul>
