More Information More Information
This action hook allows you to access data for a new user immediately after they are added to the database. The user id is passed to hook as an argument.
Not all user meta data has been stored in the database when this action is triggered. For example, nickname is in the database but first_name and last_name are not (as of v3.9.1). The password has already been encrypted when this action is triggered.
Typically, this hook is used for saving additional user meta passed by custom registration forms.

Example migrated from Codex:
This example will save a
first_namefield passed by a custom registration field.Also, keep in mind that validation of registration fields should not be performed within this hook! Validate using the
registration_errorshook instead (theuser_registerhook will not be called ifregistration_errorsvalidation fails).add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_registration_save', 10, 1 ); function myplugin_registration_save( $user_id ) { if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $_POST['first_name']); }We can use this php code to update database from
own custom register field.
add_action( 'user_register', function ( $user_id ) { $userdata = array(); $userdata['ID'] = $user_id; $userdata['telnumber'] = $_POST['telnumber']; wp_update_user( $userdata ); } );
