Populate custom fields on account page

    I added custom fields to the Account tab that correspond to the additional information we capture during the registration process. On submit the new fields update the database successfully. However, I am struggling with loading the current information in the fields when users visit their account page.

    For instance, we capture a Company Name during registration. I have added a text input field to the account tab that successfully updates the meta_value for that key when the form is submitted. I would like the field to be populated with the current Company name when the page loads. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my current code:

    add_action('um_after_account_general', 'um_account_tab_add');
function um_account_tab_add( ) {
		?>

        <div class="um-field um-field-company" data-key="company">
          <div class="um-field-label">
            <label for="company">Company</label>
            <div class="um-clear"></div>
          </div>
          <div class="um-field-area">
            <input class="um-form-field valid " type="text" name="company" id="company"  placeholder="" data-validate data-key="company">
          </div>
        </div>
<?php

}

    Thank you

    I would have to guess there is a better way, but for now I have found adding the following to the start of the above function works:

    global $wpdb;
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();

$company = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * from wp_usermeta WHERE user_id='".$user_ID."' AND meta_key='company'");

    And then adding value=”<?=$company->meta-value ?>” to the input.

    If there is a better or more efficient way to complete this, please let me know.

    Thank you,

    Try get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘field_key_here’, true );

    Thanks
