Integrate Location Sync for Users

[donniewalden]

Hey there!

Wondering if there is a way to sync or import the location data of WP users over to a Xenforo forum with this plugin. We have our users data stored in both Wordpress and Active Campaign, so pulling from either location would work.

Hi @donniewalden, if you already have the location data saved to the WP user / usermeta you can use Custom User fields to transfer that data across sites.

Here's a writeup of the basic concept of XFtoWP user fields syncing:

XFtoWP 1.3 is nearly finished development! Can anybody venture a guess to what will be included? 🙈

...and a code tutorial of adding your own custom data to the sync process. You just have to be able to access the location data over PHP, which if its already stored in the user's usermeta, can be accessed with the $wp_usermeta parameter passed into the example function:

If you are using XFtoWP 1.5, you can run the "refresh users" bulk action and it will sync the WP data to each XF user. Syncing users manually from the Edit user will also sync individual users.. Before running any bulk action, I highly advise you make a restoreable backup of the site

Let me know if this is helpful.
