Update expiration date when user logs on

I’m trying to update the expiry date everytime an user logs on to the site. this is the code I put this in my child theme’s function.php file:

// modifies the users expire date on login

function reset_expire_date() {

$e_user = new Expire_User( $user_id );

$e_user->set_expire_time_in_future( 3, ‘months’ );
}
add_action(‘wp_login’, ‘reset_expire_date’);

The date should be updated on login, but isn’t. I can’t see any error in the error log. Any ideas?

I can answer because i work on it now.
This my code :
function reset_expire_date() {
if( class_exists( ‘Expire_Users’ ) ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$e_user = new Expire_User( $user_id );
$e_user->set_expire_time_in_future( 180, ‘days’ );
$e_user->save_user();
var_dump($e_user);
}
die();
}
add_action(‘wp_login’, ‘reset_expire_date’);

Thank you for your response. I had to put this issue down for a bit, but I am currently working on it again.

@jurnet I guess I’m doing something wrong, because the code didn’t work. I put the code into my child theme’s functions.php file. It doesn’t update the date at all.

I did a test using the child theme’s header file to see if I was able to do a proof of concept. In the header file I put:
if(class_exists(‘Expire_Users’)){
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_expire_date = get_user_meta($user_Id,’_expire_user_date’,true);
if ( !empty($user_expire_date)) {
$amt = 180;
$expire_timestamp = current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) + ( DAY_IN_SECONDS * $amt );
update_user_meta($user_id,’_expire_user_date’,$expire_timestamp);
}else{
echo ‘<p> user does not have an expire date ‘.$user_id.'</p>’;
}

}

That works, but when I put this logic into the functions.php file, nothing updates

function reset_expire_date() {
if(class_exists(‘Expire_Users’)){
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_expire_date = get_user_meta($user_Id,’_expire_user_date’,true);
if ( !empty($user_expire_date)) {
$amt = 180;
$expire_timestamp = current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) + ( DAY_IN_SECONDS * $amt );
update_user_meta($user_id,’_expire_user_date’,$expire_timestamp);

}
}
}
add_action(‘wp_login’,’reset_expire_date’);
?>

I’m not quite sure what I’m doing wrong. Thanks for any help/suggestions
