I have a custom post type that is created when a user registers and a custom form for editing that information. Is there a way to add to that custom form fields from their user profile? Primarily looking to put email in as something they can edit and save. I saw a few posts that I could probably hack together in some way but want to find out what you'd recommend?
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
If you'd like to allow users to edit their 'user' information, from within a 'post' edit form, it will require code customization.
For example, for each user field that you'd like to be available, you'll add a generic field in the post-edit form. You'll fill those fields with the current/existing value from the user, as the default value, but the users will be able to make changes to these.
I added the following the form and it displays (has a lot of data I'm sure not needed but first wanted it working). Then added the following code in the theme. But it's not saving. Probably close but can you let me know what I missed?
