Hi,
I’m using ADVANCED CUSTOM FIELDS in my project adding custom data to the profile of my users.
For this use the following function
$user_id = wp_create_user( $_POST['val_username'], $_POST['val_password'], $_POST['val_email'] );
add_post_meta ( 'user_'.$user_id, 'nivel_de_acesso', $_POST['val_skill'], true);
This works for my registration visually, but when trying to return this information to my session, I get the null field (with no value)
However, when the access panel on the profile web page and save the data, everything starts to work.
How do I input the data so that work since his first time?
Sorry my English translator (lol)
The reason is that you are not saving another meta value that is needed. Have you tried using update_field()? http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_field/
This page also has information on field_keys and field_names and data needed to be stored in the database.
