do_action_ref_array( 'user_profile_update_errors', WP_Error $errors, bool $update, stdClass $user )

Fires before user profile update errors are returned.

Parameters

$errors

(WP_Error) WP_Error object (passed by reference).

$update

(bool) Whether this is a user update.

$user

(stdClass) User object (passed by reference).

More Information

This hook runs AFTER edit_user_profile_update and personal_options_update. If you want to validate some custom fields before saving, a workaround is to check the $errors array in this same callback, after performing your validations, and save the data if it is empty.

On return, if the errors object contains errors then the save is not completed & the errors displayed to the user.
