were you able to resolve this?
Solved it. If anyone ever needs this here you go. My main issue was that instead of using $_POST[‘acf’][‘field_5da4981a6418e’] I used $_POST[‘acf’][‘phone_numbers’] so it wasn’t storing the values but storing NULL.
function update_phone() {
global $wpdb;
$current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
$new_value = $_POST['acf']['field_5da4981a6418e'];
$wpdb->update(
"custom_table",
array(
"phone_numbers" => $new_value,
),
array(
'wp_user' => $current_user_id,
),
array(
'%s',
),
array( '%s' )
);
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'update_phone', 1);
okay so I got the values to populate using the code below
function populate_phone($field) {
global $wpdb; //use wp database
$field['value'] = 'N/A'; //default value
$current_user_id = get_current_user_id(); //get logged in user's id
$wp_custom_user_info = $wpdb->get_results("
SELECT * FROM custom_table
WHERE wp_user=" . $current_user_id
);
$field['value'] = $wp_custom_user_info[0]->phone_numbers;
return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=phone', 'populate_phone');
My other question still stands: How do I update that value after pressing “Save/Update” button?
