I am trying to: Setup a user directory where the email address is a link from the users name. For example.

[wpv-user field="user_firstname"] [wpv-user field="user_lastname"]

I expected the frontend to show "mailto:dev@dev-local.local" instead I see "mailto:"

[wpv-user field="user_email"] displays correctly when by itself, but I don't really want to display the email without the ability to use it in a mailto.

Thank you. I have tried this in a generic site with 2020 theme and no additional plugins and it also doesn't work there.

Hi Jonathon,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Can you try doing it like this.

<a href="mailto:[wpv-user field='user_email']">[wpv-user field="user_firstname"] [wpv-user field="user_lastname"]</a>

The issue seems to be with the internal quotes that you are using.

Let me know if this change helps.
Thanks,
Shane
