Frontend: edit user fields only

    Hi there,
    actually I don’t like the approach that the booking form is both capable for user meta data and the booking information itself. Is there an easy way to generate a form for logged in user to edit their user meta data independently? I also tried to install various user profile plugins, but they’re obviously not able to access to WP Events Manager user fields without any effort.
    Regards

    Hi Angelo,
    thanks for your reply!
    From a user’s / usability perspective I think it’s just odd to intertwine the function of maintaining profile fields and the booking process. Given the example a user needs to change his email address in order to stay informed whether an event really takes place in times of Covid, he has to book another event OR cancel and re-book it. It even gets worse if we’re talking about events that need to be payed for.
    If anyone else stumbles about that: there are several plugins, but I chose User Meta (free), which covered all my needs and allowed to integrate all of the EM specific user meta data.
    Regards
    Mathieu
