No Kris, if you set email as hidden field by default – others can’t view that email field on profiles. as far as I tested.
Hi Echo and Support,
Ok I just removed the under maintenance notice on my site so I could test as a non admin user. Echo no-one can see email address on my site as far as I can tell. When I hover over users’ photos, their profile name comes up in the bottom left hand corner but if I click on my own photo as a user, I can see my own email address as it comes up in the bottom left hand corner instead of the username. So it seems that users who are logged in (and non members) cannot see my members’ email address. BUT, I do think this should be global by default and members given the OPTION to show their emails. I just know I’m going to get tons of emails screaming at me and saying their email addresses are visible and I am going to have to explain to them that only THEY can see their email addressses.
But I’m worried about going into the settings and doing something wrong and make my members emails viewable by mistake. I’m thinking of not using this plugin because of this, which means I will have to search for one I like and does the hide email by default. Echo I’m interested in whether your members emails are viewable in any way. I don’t think they should be?
Thanks,
Kris
