Okay but is there now no way to get previous information saved in a general user field?
So for example I built an event registration where for example the standard WordPress fields first_name was displayed with the id first_name. So previously if a added a new textfield with the ID first_name the name was displayed and a user could change this user field directly in the event registration.
With the update it is not possible anymore, only if I use PHP to make at least the default value prefilled.
So every time a new event has to be created a programmer has to make changes in the functions.php or do I miss something?
