I’d like to automatically save the vendor’s first and last name to the standard WordPress user profile fields (first_name and last_name) when a vendor registers.

Could you please let me know the recommended way or hook to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Jose Mendoza

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

To save the vendor’s first and last name as user profile fields, please add the following code snippet to the functions.php file of your currently active theme:
https://multivendorx.com/docs/code-snippet/add-first-name-and-last-name-field-in-vendor-registration-form/

You can do this by navigating to: Appearance >> Theme File Editor >> functions.php, then paste the snippet at the end of the file.

If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out – we’re happy to help!

Thank you!

I ended up adding this code snippet, and it worked:

add_action( ‘mvx_after_register_vendor’, ‘shshapp_save_vendor_names’, 10, 1 );

function shshapp_save_vendor_names( $user_id ) {
if ( ! $user_id ) {
return;
}

// Verifica que existan los campos personalizados enviados
if ( ! isset( $_POST[‘mvx_vendor_fields’] ) || ! is_array( $_POST[‘mvx_vendor_fields’] ) ) {
return;
}

$fields = $_POST[‘mvx_vendor_fields’];

$first_name = ”;
$last_name = ”;

// Itera los campos para encontrar “Nombre (s)” y “Apellidos”
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
if ( isset( $field[‘label’] ) && isset( $field[‘value’] ) ) {
if ( $field[‘label’] === ‘Nombre (s)’ ) {
$first_name = sanitize_text_field( $field[‘value’] );
}
if ( $field[‘label’] === ‘Apellidos’ ) {
$last_name = sanitize_text_field( $field[‘value’] );
}
}
}

if ( $first_name ) {
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘first_name’, $first_name );
}

if ( $last_name ) {
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘last_name’, $last_name );
}
}
