Removing email field from settings form

[apos37]

Steps to reproduce

I attempted to remove the email field from the settings page so I could move it to a separate security page using my own form.

add_filter( 'hivepress/v1/forms/user_update', [ $this, 'settings_form' ], 1000 );

public function settings_form( $form ) {
    unset( $form[ 'fields' ][ 'email' ] );
    return $form;
} // End settings_form()

Actual result

Every time I save the form, no matter what I update, it gives me an error saying that I need to enter my current password. If I refresh, the update was saved regardless, so it didn’t actually need my current password.

Expected result

Allow it to save without having an email field.

Temporary solution

Add to CSS:

.hp-template--user-edit-settings-page .hp-form__field:has(input[name="email"]) {
	display: none !important;
}

Hi,

Yes, this validation is added in the code of the form action itself - hivepress/includes/controllers/class-user.php at master · hivepress/hivepress · GitHub. Unfortunately, there is no simple solution. But as a workaround, you can simply hide this field using CSS (this will not affect security if you have a separate form with the same functionality). As a more complicated option, it can be done through PHP and REST actions, but it will require detailed testing and code review.
