 * The problem I am having is that when I use this shortcode:
 * [vg_display_data key=”first_name” data_source=”user_meta”]
 * It does pull someone’s first name just not necessarily the name of the person
   who is logged in.

 * Hi there.
   This shouldn’t happen, our plugin only displays the whitelisted fields
   of the current user.Do you use Elementor? Elementor started caching the output
   of shortcodes a while back, maybe Elementor is showing old cached content from
   one user to other users. You can disable that in the Elementor experimental features.
