Description
The plugin offers a user-friendly solution to help you manage user taxonomies and create user directories on your WordPress site.
Key Features:
Easy Taxonomy Management: Register and manage user taxonomies effortlessly, providing structure to your user base without unnecessary complexity.
Admin users with the edit_users capability can assign or un-assign categories from the User profile page, made even more flexible with the ut_render_taxonomy_dropdown filter to modify the check.
Taxonomy Template Customization: Each taxonomy term generates its own archive featuring the list of assigned users. The plugin allows you to customize this template by simply creating a folder named template in your theme's root directory and add the custom template user-taxonomy-template.php."
Make sure to refresh your permalinks after creating a new taxonomy to ensure that the template functions correctly.
Dynamic User Lists: user-directory block allows you to display user lists based on roles, with a variety of customizable fields and filters for your front-end design.
User List Features:
Simple Search: Find users easily by name.
Filtering: Use taxonomies to refine user lists, with the option to activate multiple taxonomy filters via block settings.
Flexible Fields: User Name is included by default, but you can add more fields like Bio and Images, all configured with the block settings along with an option to filter it.
The plugin is compatible with multisite environment.

Fantastic plugin - one of the very few to have the hard work done and allow for user taxonomies. Works really well managing on the frontend & backend.

Did nothing, LOL, it installs, but you can't do anything with it.
Tags did NOT show up in the user's Sorting Column list, so there's no real point to using it. LOL
Also, you can NOT bulk add tags to user, but since Tags don't appear in the Column List for sorting… well you get the point… unless.
UPDATE! It's also converting my PHP ' " character to ASCII, not cool. lol

Hello Umesh,
I have installed the user tag plugin - 1.2.6
There is one issue in plugin.
When you change the name of any taxonomy and then try to go inside the taxonomy to add or remove tags, you can not enter.
I have debugged and found the solution in.
wp-content\plugins\user-tags\lib\class-ut-user-tags-list.php line 113
changed the line from
$taxonomy_slug = ut_taxonomy_name( $item['name'] );
to
$taxonomy_slug = ut_taxonomy_name( $item['slug'] );
