Hi everyone,
I’m new to this plugin and I’m trying to add some extra fields to the user profile in wp-admin. I managed to create the fields and set the location rules to show up on a post or page, but can’t seem to target the user profile page at all.
I’m not sure if I need to add some code to functions.php to get it to work. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi,

You could do this :

<?php
acf_form_head();
get_header();
$userID = get_current_user_id();
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
$options = array(
												'field_groups' => array('your_field_group'),
												'post_id' => 'user_'.$userID,
												'updated_message' => __('Profil updated','your_namespace'),								);
acf_form($options);

get_footer();
?>

Hi @inlinelogic

There are location rules for placing fields on a user or user role 🙂

Check for “Current User” or “Current User role” in the location rules dropdown.

It’s so obvious that I thought he was talking about fronted…

He’s saying wp-admin so I assume he means backend 🙂
