This hook allows you to access data for a user immediately after their database information is updated. Two arguments are passed to functions using this hook: "user_id" (int) and "old_user_data" (object).

Usage

<?php

    add_action( 'profile_update', 'my_profile_update' );

        // Do something
    }
?>

Parameters

$user_id
(integer) (optional) The user ID of the user being edited.
Default: None
$old_user_data
(object) (optional) The WP_User object of the user before it was edited.
