So.. I have successfully been using the action provided here: https://gist.github.com/sethshoultes/5574217 to automatically create a user from the event registration page. It uses the wp_update_user function to update the user fields in WordPress. But I would also like to add other personal information from the form automatically. I tried to insert the fields like this:
` ‘event_espresso_address’ => $attendee_data[‘address’],
‘event_espresso_address2’ => $attendee_data[‘address2’],
‘event_espresso_city’ => $attendee_data[‘city’],
‘event_espresso_state’ => $attendee_data[‘state’],
‘event_espresso_zip’ => $attendee_data[‘zip’],
‘event_espresso_country’ => $attendee_data[‘country’]`
But I’m guessing this doesn’t work because these fields aren’t a native part of the WP user system. Is there an “espresso_update_user”-hook for Event Espresso I can use in addition to wp_update_user for automatically registering these fields?
Best regards

The code you have added above is close but can’t be used in the wp_update_user() function.
You need to use update_user_meta() to add the field to the profile.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_user_meta
‘event_espresso_address’ => $attendee_data['address'],
becomes
update_user_meta($user_id, 'event_espresso_address’, $attendee_data['address'])
Do the same for each field you would like to save.
You could add that on say line 23 on-wards of that gist.
Depends on what you want to do with the data then, but to retrieve use get_the_author_meta()
So for the example above
echo get_the_author_meta( 'event_espresso_address', $user->ID )
