the same fields i have created in the user profile page (profile.php). so when user register, this data stored in user profile page. like address, phone and etc...

Answer 1

anybody that looking for solution here is what i found that work for me. to get some data from any field in profile page you need to use this function:

<?php get_the_author_meta( $field, $userID ); ?>

then if you want to update some value in theme customizer you can use this function:

set_theme_mod( 'field name', '$value' );
