Hi, I created a User Add form with Auto-generate Username. Then I need to get the Username on cred_save_data. I tried with
$user_login = $_POST['user_login'];, but it doesn't work.

can you help me?

Hi Umberto,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Since the username is automatically generated, it is not available in the form's submitted data ($_POST).

To get it, you can use WordPress' "get_userdata" function.
( ref: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_userdata/ )

Example:


add_action('cred_save_data', 'user_form_data_action',10,2);
function user_form_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{

	if ($form_data['id']==1234)
	{
		$user_obj = get_userdata( $post_id );
		$usernanme = $user_obj->user_login;
	}

}

Note: you'll replace "1234" with the ID of your actual form.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
