So I have a form where the user creates a custom post: 'candidate'.
I want to save the url of this newly created custom post to the user as the value of a custom user field: 'candidate-url'

I see you have some hooks that I can trigger something to occur after the 'candidate' post is saved, but my PHP knowledge is terrible and I can't seem to figure out how one would do this.

Please help.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can use Toolset Form hook cred_save_data to save the newly created post url to user custom field.

If you can share problem URL where you added your form and access details, I can surly help.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Could you please try following code.

Add following code to your current theme's functions.php file and check your issue.

add_action('cred_save_data', 'func_update_candidate_url',10,3);
function func_update_candidate_url($post_id, $form_data){
    global $current_user;

    if ($form_data['id']==999){
		
               $url = get_permalink($post_id);
               update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'wpcf-candidate-url', $url);
              
		
    }
}

Where:
- replace 999 with your original form ID
