Finally I took the time to take a closer look. Thanks for your approach. @tkreeft

So far as I understood your template is made for a page with nothing else than the form, right? Or can I use it also inside a page with different text before and after?

Okay, great. I am looking forward to it.

Thanks for your reply and suggestion.

Okay, I figured out that it is not a question of the theme. I also can’t get it work the way I want with other themes. I will look for help elsewhere.

I found a way to deactivate the registration with BuddyPress and have your checkbox back in my registration process.

Fine. Works for me at the moment. I will give it a chance because I like the simplicity of your plugin.

Thanks so far.

Okay. But there is also nothing like a template, right? I have to create the newsletter every time from scratch and can’t send it more than once?

Hello,

thanks for that offer but I am not interested in that kind of support. Changing to a default theme and deactivating plugin is also in my abilities. And while I was starting to do so I discovered accidentally that the info from the field is shown on the page but totally on top as first word and not at the place in the text where I put the shortcode.

How could I influence that?

You can use the more tag also on pages, right? Anyway it would be a short static text that I would like to show above the post list but not integrate it in the theme.

Yes, you understood correctly. That is exactly what I want.

And I tried [prflxtrflds_field field_id=1] with the result that nothing is shown. I logged in with a user that has a value for this field (visible in his profile) but nothing is shown at the page with the shortcode. Also nothing in the source code of the page, just an extra <br>, I guess.

I tried then with [prflxtrflds_field field_id=1 user_id=2] where 2 is the ID of the WP user, but still nothing. Also not for the administrator.

I rechecked the field’s settings and enlarged the properties, activated that it is shown by default and always shown (in User Data) but can’t make it appear on a page.

I don’t understand. For sure I don’t want to assign every user a specific role.

No, the idea is to have one page for all users with one shortcode that shows the value of the chosen field depending on the logged-in user who is opening this page.

Even if I would assign specific roles wouldn’t that mean to have a shortcode for each role or a wildcard for the user_role tag?

Would it work to get the WP user_id by some code in the template that put it in a variable and use this variable in the shortcode?

Oh, great. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. My fault was to not activate the Availability for the administrator so I couldn’t activate Editable neither.

So the main part works now as I wish: I can fill the field in the users’ profile and they can see it but not change it.

Then I played around with the shortcode with the idea to show each user the content of its field inside a page. Is there a wildcard that replaces the value behind user_id= with the current user? I tried [prflxtrflds_user_data user_id=get_current_user] but that shows all the users even if they are not logged in. And [prflxtrflds_user_data user_role=familie,vertraute user_id=get_current_user_id] what does not work at all.

Okay, I already tried something like this but can’t figure out why it doesn’t work. All my attempts to bring users to a specific page or the referring page after registration or login end on the home page.

But this is not a problem of this plugin because it is still like that after deactivation. I have to trial and error ??

Thanks anyway!

Ah, I hadn’t discovered that part before. Great! Thank you.

And for the second part I found out to do it the other way round. I had set ‘No’ for pages in general and exclude a few. Like this the unlisted page if the EME plugin was unselected too. Now I choose to show the widget on all pages in general, exclude most of them. But like this the widget also is shown on the not listed page(s).

Understood. Thanks for clarifying.
