Updating user extra fields.

[Alienoiduk]

Hi in creating a plugin i have extra fields in the users profile. I can add these at registration and even as a new user from administration panel but this does not work when updating the user.
I am using the hook 'edit_user_created_user' in the file
wp-admin/includes/user.php lines 227 - 242

if ( $update ) {
		$user_id = wp_update_user( $user );
	} else {
		$user_id = wp_insert_user( $user );
		$notify  = isset( $_POST['send_user_notification'] ) ? 'both' : 'admin';

		/**
		 * Fires after a new user has been created.
		 *
		 * @since 4.4.0
		 *
		 * @param int    $user_id ID of the newly created user.
		 * @param string $notify  Type of notification that should happen. See wp_send_new_user_notifications()
		 *                        for more information on possible values.
		 */
		do_action( 'edit_user_created_user', $user_id, $notify );<------ THIS LINE
	}
        <------SHOULD BE HERE

If the do action is moved down one line then it will work for new users and updating users.
I think that is correct.
Thank you
Simon

Hello @Alienoiduk and many thanks for your idea.
IO moving down, I think creating a new hook one line dosn would be better to keep working the plugins and theme hooked on this one.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

As the name implies, the edit_user_created_user action is intended to fire only after a new user has been created.

You can use any of these actions that fire when updating an existing user:

• ​edit_user_profile_update
• ​personal_options_update
• ​profile_update
