Author archive page showing email

[Maigret]

Hi,

since WordPress allows you to login with your email, we could have author archive slug showing this email on website with member registration enable. It could be the case with bbPress or WooCommerce installed for instance.

E-mail address is considered as a personal information and should not be visible to anyone for me.

Thanks

Hiya,

Email addresses are not secret information, it's something you freely share many times a day, as such I'm afraid this ticket isn't quite valid.

If you do feel a plugin is doing something wrong with these emails, that's something you'll need to contact the plugin authors about.
