    Hi Ali,

    I am using this plugin for user registration, and it is working fine. Now i wanted to add few custom meta keys. I have tried it using update_user_meta function.

    Following is the flow i am using update_user_meta is:
    1. Generating nonce
    2. Registering user with basic parameters i.e username, first_name, email, display_name, user_url, user_pass and nonce.

    But in registration i need to send few more parameters like phone_number, user_address, user_website. For that i am using update_user_meta.

    3. Getting cookie from step 2, adding cookie to update_user_meta with meta_key and meta_value.

    In the response of step 3, i am getting response ‘provide username’. When i provide it, getting response ‘provide email’. When i provide both then getting ‘provide nonce’. When i provide all these then i am getting response ‘User already exist’.

    Can you suggest the solution on it. Kindly clarify me if my flow is incorrect.

    Thanks,
    SamKat

    in the step 3,

    You need to use update_user_meta endpoint, you are not registering user again so this error cannt possibly occur.

    you only have to provide cookie, that will identify user, meta_key and meta_value. that’s all.

    there is no other param required.

    Hi Ali,
    Thanks for prompt response. In step 2 i am using api/user/register endpoint and in step 3 i am using api/user/update_user_meta. Following is my curl code:
    $ch1 = curl_init(); // Initiate cURL
    $url1 = $site_url.”api/user/update_user_meta/”; // Where you want to post data
    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_POST, true); // Tell cURL you want to post something

    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, “cookie=”.$res_data->cookie.”&insecure=cool&meta_key=billing_phone&meta_value=”.$billing_phone);

    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Return the output in string format
    $output1 = curl_exec ($ch1); // Execute
    print_r($output1);
    curl_close ($ch1);

    I am getting cookie from step 2 response.

    ohhh… Yeah… I found the error.

    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL,$url); in this line, i should have to use $url1.

    Thanks Ali, appreciating your efforts. ??
