Populate custom metadata field

    Here’s the situation:

    I have a plugin that requires me to manually enter an email address and password into the user’s profile – it’s not the same as the standard WordPress email address and password.

    The thing is – the email address is always the same as the WordPress email, and the password is the same for everyone. (It’s for a simple SSO plugin).

    Is there a way to either:

    1. Add a hidden field into the registration form that will populate the specific wp_usermeta fields, or
    2. Add code to the functions.php similar to this article, where it defines those fields automatically

    You can try this code snippet and replace second parameters with your SSO meta_keys.

    add_action( 'um_registration_complete', 'um_registration_complete_sso_plugin', 1 );

function um_registration_complete_sso_plugin( $user_id ) {

    global $current_user;

    update_user_meta( $user_id, "sso_plugin_password", 'password' );
    update_user_meta( $user_id, "sso_plugin_email", $current_user->user_email );

    UM()->user()->remove_cache( $user_id );
    um_fetch_user( $user_id );
}

    Add the code snippet to your active theme’s/child-theme’s functions.php file
    or use the “Code Snippets” plugin.

    I’ve been using this code snippet for several days, and it is correctly pre-filling the password for me, but it is not pre-filling the email address…

    The “sso_plugin_email” needs to be the same as the current user’s email address.

    Try to use this code snippet instead:

    add_action( 'um_registration_complete', 'um_registration_complete_sso_plugin', 1 );

function um_registration_complete_sso_plugin( $user_id ) {

    um_fetch_user( $user_id );

    update_user_meta( $user_id, "sso_plugin_password", 'password' );
    update_user_meta( $user_id, "sso_plugin_email", um_user( 'user_email' ) );

    UM()->user()->remove_cache( $user_id );
    um_fetch_user( $user_id );
}
