This is annoying because I’m trying to use that data to synchronize with an external system and on the second trigger the API call doesn’t seem to be going through. Ok maybe I can skip the API call on the first trigger to make sure it runs on the second trigger, but if that second trigger ever stops happening then our systems are going to get out of sync. Is this second trigger intended behavior?

function custom_function( $user_id, $old_user_data, $userdata ) {
    $email = $userdata['user_email'];
    $first_name = $userdata['first_name'];
    $last_name = $userdata['last_name'];

    error_log( print_r( $email, true ) );
    error_log( print_r( $first_name, true ) );
    error_log( print_r( $last_name, true ) );
}
add_action( 'profile_update', 'custom_function', 10, 3 );

I hope this message finds you well. We are experiencing an issue with the Yoast SEO plugin, version 22.8, on our WordPress 6.5.4 Multisite installation. Specifically, users with the Editor role and custom roles that include the “edit_users” capability are encountering a 403 Forbidden error when attempting to save other users’ profiles.

Upon investigation, it appears that the wpseo_nonce field is not being generated in the user profile edit form, which seems to be causing the issue. Interestingly, users with “superadmin” and “administrator” roles do not face this problem and can save profiles without any difficulties.

We would greatly appreciate it if your team could look into this matter. Please let us know if you require any further information or have any questions to assist in resolving this issue.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Now I have gotten to the point where I need to validate something from an API before letting WordPress actually update the data. Is there an action that fires before “profile_update”? I have tried “user_profile_update_errors”, but it only fires in the admin backend.

Do I need to use multiple hooks to get this to work everywhere?

Thanks
Wag

// send email notification to admin on profile updates
function my_admin_notification_profile_update($userid) {
if(did_action(‘profile_update’) === 1) {
// this code only runs the first time the “profile_update” hook is fired
if (!current_user_can( ‘administrator’ )){// avoid sending emails when admin is updating user profiles
$userdata = get_userdata($userid);
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$message = “The customer : ” .$current_user->company. ” message here:\n\n”;
foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
$message .= $key . “: “. $value .”\n”;
}
@wp_mail(get_option(‘admin_email’), ‘Customer Profile Update’, $message);
}
}

}
add_action(‘profile_update’,’my_admin_notification_profile_update’);

I use latest version of WP and This plugin, I want to allow users to access their profile only and update.

I am really after a web hook that will fire after a user has updated their password. Using the profile_update hook results in the user seeing a blank page after they have submitted the new password.

Is there a better hook to use than this?

Thanks,
Frances

profile_update, edit_user_profile_update, user_register

Firing any of these action hooks after creating a new user profile would be enough to make Relevanssi able to index user profiles created by User Role Editor.

I have successfully allowed user to update their own profile and have it also update the remote api with same (new) update data.

I have had less success getting the admin side to work correctly.

if  ( is_admin () ) {
    add_action ( 'profile_update', 'myplugin_admin_update', 10, 2 );

    //add_action ( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'myplugin_admin_update', 10, 2 );
    // ^ Fires before form submit. Don't think I can use it.
...
}

 function myplugin_admin_update ($user_id, $old_user_data) {
 $user_meta                 = array_map( function( $a ){ return $a[0]; }, get_user_meta( $user_id ) );
...
}

I then basically send $user_meta off to another routine to be processed and sent. That part works fine.

The problem is $user_meta is ‘old’ data. The data I pull from DB is not the new submitted data but the pre-update data – seemingly contrary to description in api codex? I understand the hook delivers ‘$user_old_data’ but I am not interested in that – just when it fires. I only need a hook that fires immediately after the admin updates a user. Not before.

Codex:

profile_update This hook allows you to access data for a user immediately after their database information is updated

What am I doing wrong? I get ‘old data’ when i query DB on this hook.

However when I tested things the profile_update action hook was firing multiple times – I may be wrong but I looked at the code I believe I found the reason why… I believe this is down to the number of times that wp_update_user is called in the wppb.edit.profile.php file. Rather than calling it once, after all the data is collected/sanitised etc – the function to update the user meta data is called each time for each element that is being updated!

Am I correct in my understanding of the issue? And …. does this happen in the pro version? and/or is there a work-around available? (obviously I would rather not hack the plugin code).

Thanks in advance for any tips.

If it has been depreciated, what action/filter can be used to track ALL changes to the user object model made using the wp_user_update function? [I want to audit all changes made by Users to their registration details.]
