I figured it out:
function my_acf_validate_value( $valid, $value, $field, $input ) {
$current_id = get_current_user_id();
$wp_user_id = 'user_' . $current_id;
$current_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email', $current_id);
if($value == "" || $value == " ") {
$valid = "Email field cannot be empty";
} elseif( email_exists($value) && $value != $current_email ) {
$valid = "This email already exists. Use a unique email";
}
return $valid;
}
I figured this out. I’d like this validation to only be on the front end of the site not in the admin area. I’ll start another forum thread for that.
