I am really new to this… so new that I am not even sure how to ask the question
Is it possible to associate an advanced custom field with a standard wordpress user profile field like username and put that into a field group?
I have made a custom post type that is basically a user with a specific role and some added fields… I’m trying to figure out how (or if) I can pull all of the fields that I need into the “add new” page. I can get all of the custom fields I made show up but not any of the standard wordepress user fields like username..
Do I just need to add everything I want to edit as a custom field?
If you want to just pull in existing values then you create an acf/prepare_field filter for each field that gets the associated value from user meta to use as $field['value']
If you also want to save these values back to the user then you create an acf/save_post action that gets the fields and updates the user meta values.
Specifics would depend on what user settings you are needing to use.
