Two standard user fields unavailable in merge tags

    I’ve spent a few days exploring the power of this plugin and am very impressed:). I’ve noticed that the two standard WP user profile fields ‘nickname’ and ‘description’ are unavailable as merge tags. Is there a reason why these basic user profile elements were omitted? Is there a clean way I can implement them on my side?

    Correction: the ‘description’ field is listed as User bio and I had overlooked that, sorry. But the ‘nickname’ is definitely not available.

    Hey, have you tried {user_nicename}?

    If that’s not what you’re looking for, we can add that merge tag as a default one, you can also add your own tags.

    If you like the plugin, I’d appreciate a review, thanks!

    The user_nicename is a separate field from nickname get_the_author_meta(‘nickname’) , which users can create separately in a default WordPress profile. I guess it doesn’t get a lot of use depending on the type of site, but as it is a standard field it would be great if it were accessible.

    Absolutely, will add that in the next version of the plugin
