Email Editable

Hello:

I noticed a user’s email is editable after they register on my site at oddhoursnews.com. I don’t want them to be able to edit their email address. How do I fix this?

Thanks.

This isn’t available as a standard option. The user needs to be able to change their email for various reasons… if you’re worried about not being able to contact them, their updated email should change in your Admin>All users panel.

You’ll also get an email if they change their email or password, though, by default it doesn’t give you the details, it just notifies you.

Give me a thumb if that helps!

I agree with Jordan’s reasoning, however, if you want, you could use some simple CSS to hide the field and label using “display: none;”.

Are you using the profile shortcode or the standard wordpress profile?

NOTE: A savy user could still change their e-mail using this method, but most people don’t know html well enough for it to be worth their time to reproduce the form and submit it. In either case, your back-end would still be updated with the new e-mail.

Thanks for the responses Jordan and David.
