using get_field() to find a user_email ?

  • is it possible to use get_field() to get the email of a user ?

    I cannot make it work : get_fiel("user_email", "user_".$user_id) returns null, and get_fields("user_".$user_id) returns an object that does not contains the field user_email

    however, using the wp function get_userdata($user_id)->data->user_email) give me the right result

    Maybe get_field() only works for acf fields ? that would make sense, but in the other hand the documentation page says ‘this function can be used to load the value of any field from any location’ https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/

    I wanted to use get_field() because it was easier to have only one way to do it, otherwise I should check if the field is an acf field before maybe ? How can i do that ? Simply if get_field() returns null ?

    And also, I was wondering if get_field() was maybe more secure than get_userdata() ?
