The mistake is with this line: // Add the school ID as a meta data add_user_meta( $user_id, ‘school_id’, [$school_id] ); No need for the array brackets when you store the user meta, change it to: // Add the school ID as a meta data add_user_meta( $user_id, ‘school_id’, $school_id );
You cannot use update_user_meta on its own here. You would need to get_user_meta first, decode your json into an array, update the last_seen element of the array, re-encode it and only then update_user_meta.

How to display user_meta array as a table?
How to get metadata (in my case mail) of users who have a certain set of metadata?

So you could actually make a group of meta queries, with OR as the relation, to find users with any role of your 4 defined roles, OR users having a certain meta key and value: Please note that … Read more
