    Hi All, I am trying to write simple function that automatically gives all new users a certain default value for a meta-key in the usermeta table on sign up (register) using get_current_user_id() and update_user_meta(). Does anyone know what function goes in the add_action hook? Thanks.

    Hey achanne,

    just use this action hook, tested it, works well.
    “testmeta” is the meta key. “Value to save” is the value you want to save. 😉

    add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_registration_save', 10, 1 );

function myplugin_registration_save( $user_id ) {

    update_user_meta($user_id, 'testmeta', 'Value to save');

}
