Hi there,

Can you help me with a function that will set the new user "username" as the email address when the form saves?

Many thanks

Hi Paul,

Thank you for getting in touch.

add_action('cred_save_data', 'update_username',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==12)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['user_email']))
        {
           wp_update_user( array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'user_login' => $_POST['user_email'] ) );
        }
    }
}
 

Please try the above code and let me know if it helps. Replace the 12 with the ID of the form that you want this code to be triggered for.

Finally this code can be added to Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code and ensure that its activated.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
