Hello
Thank you for the template! Once I add it to the website and use it for the desired page I do not see any content displayed. What could be the reason?

It does not work for me. So I have managed to modify the code. Works fine for me. Here I am updating any specific user profile, you can edit the current user also. Just define the current user Id into $user_id:

<?php
require_once('../../../wp-load.php');

/* Load the registration file. */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php' );
$error = array();    

function update_basic_user_meta() {     //define this function    

$user_id = $_POST['user_id'];
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$email = $_POST['user_email'];

/* Extra ACF Fileds */
$company = $_POST['company'];

    $email_exits = email_exists(esc_attr($_POST['user_email'])); 
    
    if ( !empty( $_POST['user_email'] ) ){
        if (!is_email(esc_attr( $_POST['user_email'] )))
            $error[] = __('The Email you entered is not valid.  please try again.', 'profile');
        elseif ($email_exits && $email_exits != $user_id)
            $error[] = __('This email is already used by another user.  try a different one.', 'profile');
        else{
            wp_update_user( array ('ID' => $user_id, 'user_email' => esc_attr( $_POST['user_email'] )));
        }
    }
    
    if ( !empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', esc_attr( $_POST['first_name'] ) );
    if ( !empty( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
        update_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', esc_attr( $_POST['last_name'] ) );

        
    /* Upate ACF Fields */

    if ( ! empty( $_POST['company'] ) ) {
        update_field('company', $_POST['company'], 'user_'.$user_id);
    }
    
    
    if ( is_wp_error( $user_data ) ) {
        // There was an error; possibly this user doesn't exist.
        echo '<span class="failure alert_pop">We found some techcnial glitch. Contact with your software provider.</span>.';
    } else {
        // Success!
        echo '<span class="sucess alert_pop">Account details of '.$first_name.' '.$first_name.' successfully updated.</span>' ;
    }

}  //end the function

update_basic_user_meta();   //call to the function
add_action('init', 'update_basic_user_meta'); // don't know is this necessary after calling the function but still add action of this function.
