Update ACF field values attached to a WordPress user

Requires ACF or Secure Custom Fields (SCF). Field groups must have Show in REST API enabled in ACF settings.

Description

Syncing external data into ACF user profiles — upgrading membership tiers, refreshing expiry dates, updating bio fields from a CRM — is a task built for automation, and wp_acf_update_user_fields handles the write side. Field keys (e.g. field_abc123) are required; use wp_acf_list_field_groups to retrieve them first. Easy MCP AI connects n8n, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant directly to your WordPress site over a pure-PHP bridge, so these user-level ACF updates can run as part of a larger automated workflow without touching the admin panel.
