User object is null inside a repeater, missing email outside of repeater.

[zync09]

Hey ya mate, firstly huge thanks on this plugin, it's been great so far.

I'm having a small issue where a user object is null inside a repeater. Well I should clarify. It's fine in GraphiQL in wordpress. But in my NUXT app or even postman, it's null - that's when it's in a repeater.

Outside of a repeater email address is also null in the user object but at least the ID firstname and last name come through.

Any ideas what could be up with that?

In Postman:

In GraphiQL

@zync09 this might be a capabilities issue.

Users in WordPress are considered private unless they've published content. A user with no published content is considered private. For the users that are not showing in the repeater, my guess is they are not published authors?

Email addresses of users are also considered private.

The reason you can see this data in WPGraphiQL is because you are authenticated and you have permission to see that data, but when you're not authenticated you don't have permission to see it.

If you want to display information about people that are not published authors of content, consider using a Custom Post Type to show that information?

Cheers @jasonbahl

I did think about that originally and it is a custom post type at the moment with users in an ACF field.

I originally was working with a custom REST API point and that was fetching the data fine (abit over-fetching things I didn't need, hence why trying out GraphQL now) but I'm guessing because it was custom that's why the users fields had no issues coming across hey.

Sorry I know this is probbaly not an issue with the plugin now but what do you mean by using a custom Post type?

Also tried your suggestion and tried making another user the author of a test post. But their details still didn't come though. All I need about the user is their name and ID really, it's for a RSVP Page for a wedding.

Edit: Actually sorry that's not true. These users need to be able to log into the site as well and set their RSVP Status.

And just did some more testing with ACF in a standard REST endpoint - not custom. That data comes through fine with the users. So maybe it's not a Wordpress issue, just the way the plugins display their data? Is it possible to add this support to acf graphql?

Don't suppose oyu know where abouts I could being looking for this to change? I wouldn't mind helping to contribute to the plugin if I am able to.

@zync09 were you able to solve this? I'm also stuck on this issue. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Maybe this is duplicate with #167

Does this workaround help?
