I am trying to: create a readonly field on user_email field

I visited this URL:

I expected to see: readonly

Instead, I got: still editable

Hello.

I apologize for the delay here.
Only me and one other supporter work on Weekends, specifically, on Sundays.

Could you please elaborate a little more on this read-only issue that you are experiencing so I can better understand?
Could you tell me more about the steps that you had taken before this problem occurred?
Sometimes screenshots illustrating what you mean may go a long way to clarify what words fail to transmit, so if you like, make use of “upload an image” below the comment area.
It would also be helpful if you could share your Debug Information with me?

If I'm not mistaken, you are experiencing this issue with Cred.
I've tried to replicate your problem in my localhost.
A. I've created a new Cred post form for editing a post.
B. I've inserted into the form a field of post_title type and checked the readonly checkbox.
C. I've put this form into one of my pages and I've tried to edit this field and I couldn't.

Please let me know if I recognized your issue correctly, and if following the above steps you can not achieve the desired results, please don’t hesitate to request my help here in the forum.
I look forward to your reply!

Thanks,
Itamar.

Hi, please find attached the screenshot. As you can see, the email field should be grey out just like the username field. There is no error even debug mode is on.

Hello, Joe.

Thank you for sharing those details and screenshots with me.
I checked with my local install, and I’m able to replicate this issue on my test site.
Indeed, there seems to be a problem with the user_email field on Cred user forms.

I'll escalate this issue to our developers.
Until I get an answer back from our developers, I would like to suggest to you a workaround for this problem.
Please try this JS code to make the input element of the email field be in a readonly state.

jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) {
  id = $('input[name="user_email"]').attr('id');
  $('#'+id).prop('readonly', 'readonly');
 });

You can copy and paste this code into the JS section of the user form and then update the form and check on the frontend if it works for you.

Please let me know if the above solution works for you, I look forward to your reply!

Thanks,
Itamar.
