Hey,

May I get an example about how can I set a field’s value via code?

Let’s say I have a custom field on UWP called “pet_name” and I want to set “Puppy” as it’s value via script not UWP interface. Can I get a little snippet for it?

Thanks,

Hello,

The forum is for support of the plugin as designed, and we are unable to perform customizations here.

You can try something like this, though: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2930396/can-you-set-a-form-field-value-with-php

I will flag your question for the developers in case they have an easy fix.

Hey,

Thanks for the link, I’ve checked it. I don’t ask for a customization though, just looking for a sample function to set a field value for UsersWP.

Hello,

We have our own user meta functions that fuction like the standard WP ones, you can see them here: https://github.com/UsersWP/userswp/blob/master/includes/helpers/meta.php#L64

All UWP metas are prefixed with “uwp_account_” so in your example above you would do this:
```
uwp_update_usermeta( $user_id, "uwp_account_pet_name", "Puppy" );
```
Thanks,
