    Hi Support
    i have form on front end as

    array(
                'id' => 'your_phone',
                'type' => 'text',
                'required'   => true,
                'readonly'  => true,
                'name' => esc_html__( 'Your Phone' ),
                'std' => $profile->user_info->user_phone_number,
                'class' => 'col-md-6',
                'placeholder' => esc_html__( 'Your Phone' ),
            ),

    i want this field to be edited by admin on backend while on frontend form should be readonly
    i am using frontend form plugin.
    thanks

    You can modify the readonly attribute with the value like this:

    'readonly' => ! is_admin(),

    So, on the admin, it's true, on the front end - false.

    I am having a similar issue. I want the frontend form to be editable but on admin side, I want the fields to be 'readonly' . I tried this attribute: readonly = is_admin(). It is making the fields 'readonly' in both admin and frontend.

    Hello Aravinda,

    You need to register the meta box and custom fields with code to use that logic. Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/creating-fields-with-code/
