  Hi All,

  WordPress beginner here. Apologies for what I’m sure is a noob question but I’ve been spending days on this and still haven’t figured out a way to do this.

  Basically I have created some custom user fields using the ‘Advanced Custom Fields’ plugin and I want to create a simple form on a static page where a user can edit them.

  To start simple I have a custom field called ‘isuseractive’ where values can be either True or False. I just want say a simple checkbox on my page and then a ‘Submit’ button which will then set ‘isuseractive’ to True/False (for that user) depending on the checkbox selection.

  I’m sure there must be an easy way to do this but I haven’t been able to figure it out and can’t find any plugins that do it either.

  Please can you help?

  Thanks,
  Dave
