I'm trying to create my own registration form and adding phone number as required field and I would love to save that phone number as custom user meta.
After validation and santizing inputs, ets. my code looks like this:
// this returns the correct value etc. - string(9) "126777889"
var_dump($metas['user_phone'])
$user_id = wp_insert_user($fields);
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'user_phone', $metas['user_phone'] );
The user is created correctly, but there is something wrong with the phone meta field - in backend it looks like this:
I also tried this approach to test whether the meta exists:
if(get_user_meta($user_id,'user_phone')) {
update_user_meta($user_id,'user_phone');
} else {
add_user_meta($user_id,'user_phone');
}
Also tried to add the meta with 'user_register' action like this:
function addMyCustomMeta($user_id,$meta) {
update_user_meta($user_id,$meta);
}
add_action('user_register','addMyCustomMeta',10,2,);
And then using like this:
$user_id = wp_insert_user($fields);
do_action('addMyCustomMeta',$user_id,$metas['user_phone']);
In all cases I end up with the situation described in the picture above. No meta title and the value is saved as multiple "Array"
In database it looks fine:
Do you have any idea what am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Reset to default 9You have to trigger the following hooks:
- user_register
- personal_options_update
edit_user_profile_update
add_action('user_register', 'addMyCustomMeta'); add_action('personal_options_update', 'addMyCustomMeta' ); add_action('edit_user_profile_update','addMyCustomMeta' ); function addMyCustomMeta( $user_id ) { update_user_meta( $user_id, 'user_phone', $_POST['user_phone'] ); }
Hope that helps!!
