I can’t setup the plugin right

  • Now I want to create a form in page for users to add extra data to their profiles and i want to display it in the backend profile.
    I used ACF and created the field group. But when I set the roles the problem starts.
    – When I use user form equal to all it displays the fields in the backend profile. But it should be the first role.
    – When I add form is equal to my form name ( to make this plugin work and display my form in the front end page) using ( AND ) it display it but when I insert data in the form nothing happens in the back end the user’s data don’t update.

    What is the right setup?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I set up it this way.

    User Form is equal to all
    OR
    Form is equal to my form name
    OR
    User Role is equal All

    The form is displayed in the front end
    The fields are displaying in the backend.

    BUT when I insert data in front end It doesn’t appear in the backend

    Also, the entries are appearing in the plugins entries section. so the form works right but why it is not updating the user profile?

    Hi!

    Are you using Advanced Forms Pro? Only the Pro version has support for editing user profiles.

    The ACF location rules won’t let you set up user editing as those only specify where fields are supposed to be shown. So when you set up:
    Form is equal to my form name
    OR
    User Role is equal All

    That causes the fields to be used both for the Advanced Form and for the user profile.

    Okay i setup it like you said. And the form is displaying in the page and the fields is displaying at user profile in the backend.
    BUT when i fill the form nothing changed in the user profile fields in the backend!!

    To set up user profile editing you need Advanced Forms Pro. These instructions will then guide you through getting that working: https://advancedforms.github.io/pro/editing/creating-and-editing-users/

    Unfortunately it’s not possible to set up user editing using just the ACF location rules as there are a few mappings that need to be set up (for example username, email etc.)

    I am using ACF pro latest version. But I can’t see the options in the link you posted.
    there is no Editing tab or integration tab. the menu ends with Notifications

    Those will only show up when you’re using the Pro version of Advanced Forms. If you have downloaded the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory then you have the free version which does not include user profile editing.
