Hi! I was wondering if there is any way to edit a users info? (I.e. Email or Nickname) so in case someone wanted to change their login email or if someone has an inappropriate nickname that I could change? TIA!

Thanks, but how would I go about changing someones nickname/email with this? Do I type it as a page’s code, or? (Sorry, I don’t code) Much help would be appreciated

Hello again,

i would say you simply can’t change the nickname. All you can change is:

import wixUsersBackend from 'wix-users-backend';
2
3export function updateUserFields(userId, firstName, lastName, email, phone) {
4  wixUsersBackend.updateUserFields(userId, {
5      "firstName": firstName,
6      "lastName": lastName,
7      "emails": [email],
8      "phones": [phone]
9  } )
10    .then( () => {
11      // contact has been updated
12    } )
13    .catch( (err) => {
14      // there was an error updating the contact
15    } );
16}

Perhaps you can use the —> “SLUG” for your purposes.

import wixUsersBackend from 'wix-users-backend';

3export function getUser(id) {
4  return wixUsersBackend.getUser(id);
5}

@russian-dima Okay thanks! But where would I put the code? And how would I change the values?

@claritylove67
Which VALUES do you wanna change?

All you can change is:
5 “firstName” : firstName ,
6 “lastName” : lastName ,
7 “emails” : [ email ],
8 “phones” : [ phone ]

The slug is generated automativally. You could use it eventually for your purposes.

You would have to put this code on two places.

  1. Back-End-Code into a JWS-FILE-SECTION.
  2. And Front-End-Code into the CODE-SECTION of the SITE.

You should perhaps first learn some stuff about back-end and front-end.
This is not an easy to do job.
