Hi.

Just a question..

Is it possible to use CRED to let the user edit his or hers own user meta data on the front page of a site?

I would like to create a few custom user meta fields, and let this be edit able by the user. But is that possible with toolset?

Kind Regards

Henrik

CRED doesn't handle user custom fields yet, it is meant only for posts and their custom fields.

You can use Types to define user custom fields, and your users will be able to edit this in their profiles.

If you want to show the profile on the frontend, you can use a plugin like this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

The only thing you need to do for this plugin to work with Types is add these lines to functions.php in your theme:

add_action('init', 'types_tml_fix');
function types_tml_fix() {
    require_once WPCF_EMBEDDED_ABSPATH . "/admin.php";
}

Thank you.

I hope to see user meta as a tool in the future.
