Admin Only Custom Field
-
Is it possible to add a field that is only editable by an admin? I want to assign a memberID field – that the admin must add to each registered user. I don’t want the user to edit the field. Even if i remove it from displaying on the user profile, when the user is in their profile and edits it; they then can see this field and modify it’s value.

@thompsondc, if I correctly understend you, so I know a solution for you.
On my site I add a field that user can see, but can’t edit.
Administrator or another user with enough role can edit that field from user profile in console (/wp-admin/users.php).Hi, @gbagiryan!
I did it like this:
– at first, I installed plagin User Meta Manager. I choose this plagin for easy adding custom user meta and for shortcodes that can showing user meta on any page;
– at second, I edited profile-tpl.php. I added my shortcodes where I want.You can find profile-tpl.php on this path: /yousite/wp-content/plugins/profilegrid/public/partials/themes/default/profile-tpl.php
I showing custom meta like this:
for current user –<td> <?php echo "[usermeta key=\"whomentor\" after_key=\"</td>\"]";?>
for another user –</td> <?php echo "[usermeta key=\"whomentor\" user=\"{$_GET['uid']}\" after_key=\"</td>\"]";?>
(i used </td> becouse show meta in table)
p.s. – it’s definitely working for ProfileGrid 3.2.3 and older.
and sorry for my English, I hope you will understend me.
