Next session’s recipe: Change User Field Type Based on User Role or Capability

Every Paid Memberships Pro User Field renders the same way for everyone: whatever type you set in the User Fields settings, editable by anyone who can see it. That works until you have fields that only your team should manage, like a member number or other internal data that members should see but never change.

In this live session of Coding with Sam, we’ll walk through how to register a User Field in code and use a capability check to swap its type on the fly, so administrators get an editable input while every other user sees the same field as read-only text.
