update field with code

    I am using “ultimate member” for wordpress, and I have a field called agreement_signed. When a logged in user signs an agreement, I want to update the field to “YES”. After they sign, i direct them to: …. website .com/user/username/?sign=yes

    I am not a php coder and I struggled with this for hours and came up with this, which works MOST of the time. For whatever reason, it fails about 25% of the time and I don’t know why. It’s ok if you laugh at my code ??

    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    function check_agreement_signed () {

    $check = $_REQUEST[‘sign’];
    $user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
    $agreement = ‘YES’;
    if(!empty($check) && $check==’yes’) {
    $result = update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘agreement_signed’, $agreement);
    echo “<h2><center>Thank you for signing your Adoption Agreement. A copy was emailed to you.</center></h2>”;
    }
    }
    add_filter( ‘um_before_form’, ‘check_agreement_signed’, 1, 2 );

    Hi @guytimes

    You need to use add_action function.

    Please do try this code snippet:

    function check_agreement_signed () {

     $check = $_REQUEST[‘sign’];
     $user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
     $agreement = ‘YES’;
     if( ! empty( $check ) && $check== ’yes’ ) {
       $result = update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘agreement_signed’, $agreement);
       echo “<h2><center>Thank you for signing your Adoption Agreement. A copy was emailed to you.</center></h2>”;
     }
}
add_action( ‘um_before_form’, ‘check_agreement_signed’, 1, 2 );

    Thank you I will try that. What is the difference between add_filter and add_action?

    Hi @guytimes

    There’s no um_before_form filter hook that’s declared in the UM plugin.
