Hi,
I pasted this code into my author.php file :
```
<?php 
$form = '[mb_user_profile_info id="untitled-field-group" user_id="36" submit_button="Submit" confirmation="Your information has been successfully submitted. Thank you."]';
echo do_shortcode( $form );
?>
```
It works displaying all the fields. But they are empty. I would like to be able to open each user profile and edit it front end. For example for the user "testuser" this page :
https://mydomain.com/author/testuser
should display the "testuser" datas, not an empty form.

Can you help please ?

Hi Eliodata,

To edit default user fields, please create a meta box that has the same fields as WordPress's. Then add it to the shortcode. For details, please see the docs:

https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-user-profile/#edit-default-fields

Hi Anh,

My question was not clear, sorry for my poor english. My user form is ok and works fine on admin, I'm just trying to display it and edit content front end.

The page "https://mydomain.com/author/testuser1" should display results for "testuser" and the page "https://mydomain.com/author/testuser2" sould display results for "testuser2". But it only displays empty forms.

How can I edit user forms front end please ? I mean choosing the profil I want and edit his content.

Have a nice week !

We have resolved this issue via email. Here is the solution in case anyone is interested in:

The solution is using some hook to output the shortcode dynamically, like this:
```
// We're adding a shortcode dynamically to a specific page
add_filter( 'the_content', function( $content ) {
    if ( ! is_page() || 123 !== get_the_ID() ) {
        return $content;
    }
    
    // We pass user ID via URL
    $user_id = isset( $_GET['user_id'] ) ? $_GET['user_id'] : '';
    // Create shortcode dynamically
    $shortcode = '[mb_user_profile_info id="your-meta-box-id" user_id="' . $user_id . '"]';

    return $content . do_shortcode( $shortcode );
} );
```
So, you can create a page like /edit-user/ and pass user ID via URL like this: /edit-user/?user_id=123
