I have some custom fields in my Wordpress user data - in particular I have one called ‘text_crm_user’
When I get the user data with the Wordpress node I cannot see any of these fields. I have two entries:
“meta” - which is empty
“woocommerce_meta” - which contains data
How do I pull in any additional information from the user profiles?
Thanks!
Found the answer to that - you have to manually register the fields into the API within Wordpress:
register_meta( 'user', 'your_meta_key_here', [ 'show_in_rest' => true ] );
This lets me pull the existng data into the Wordpress node when I GET a user!
It doesn’t show them in the Update User dialog - the Add Field only shows the standard fields. How can I add the new meta fields here?
Cheers!
That is sadly currently not posible. You can make a feature request. In the meantime, you can use the HTTP request to update the metadata.
Hey @seank1968!
Were you able to resolve this using the HTTP Request node? Let us know if you need help 
Just trying it now.
I can update the standard fields - email, nickname etc by using POST and adding the field name and new value with the Add Parameter option.
But the additional fields I have added don’t update - no error is returned.
For example, I have a field called text_crm_user - if I enter that as the name and a value, for example ‘qwerty’ as a new parameter - the node executes but the field doesn;t upidate.
You probably have to send the data as:
{
meta: {
text_crm_user: 'data'
}
}Ah ok - I’ll try that when I’m back in the office tomorrow!
Thanks!
Sure, let us know.
Hey @seank1968,
