    I have a field group attached to a front end form that is supposed to pull user info. One field is a text field that's supposed to show the user email address. I've tried user_email, email, and user_login (registration sets login to email) as the field ID and none of them appear to be pulling anything. User email is stored in the _users table but is not a field in the _usermeta table. What am I doing wrong?

    I had that issue. See https://support.metabox.io/topic/prompt-to-change-password-shows-on-edit-form/

    It shows the filter for showing the email (below). Then add the ID.

    add_filter( 'rwmb_profile_info_fields', function( $fields ) {
    $fields['email'] = [
        'name' => 'Email',
        'id'   => 'user_email',
        'type' => 'email',
    ];
    return $fields;
} );

    I'm finally just now getting back to this project. I added that code into my functions.php (not sure if that's the right place), then have an email field with ID user_email, but it's still not pulling the email address. Any suggestions?

    Hi Nick, you probably need to use a filter to change the value displayed:

    add_filter( 'rwmb_user_email_field_meta', function( $meta, $field, $saved ) {
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    return $user->user_email;
}, 10, 3 );
