How to update first name, I’m using key first_name, and the name did not update after success request
Use the get_usermeta with same key to get value. WordPress default user profile first name is not updated like this.
I noticed that the resource url for “update_user” and “update_password” are the same in the documentation. Is that a mistake or it is deliberate?
yes, that url has been fixed, it was mistake.
display_name
nickname
last_name
These fields are not updated.
You can update using meta_key
