UM and WP Job Manager and profile

Hi @richard_vermeer

You can use this code snippet to add custom user data via shortcode:

/**
 * Returns a user meta value
 * Usage [um_user user_id="" meta_key="" ] // leave user_id empty if you want to retrive the current user's meta value.
 * meta_key is the field name that you've set in the UM form builder
 * You can modify the return meta_value with filter hook 'um_user_shortcode_filter__{$meta_key}'
 */
function um_user_shortcode( $atts ) {
	$atts = extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'user_id' => get_current_user_id(),
		'meta_key' => '',
	), $atts ) );
	
	if ( empty( $meta_key ) ) return;
	
	if( empty( $user_id ) ) $user_id = get_current_user_id(); 
    
    $meta_value = get_user_meta( $user_id, $meta_key, true );
    if( is_serialized( $meta_value ) ){
       $meta_value = unserialize( $meta_value );
    } 
    if( is_array( $meta_value ) ){
         $meta_value = implode(",",$meta_value );
    }  
    return apply_filters("um_user_shortcode_filter__{$meta_key}", $meta_value );
 
}
add_shortcode( 'um_user', 'um_user_shortcode' );

For example, if you want to display the Full name of a member, you can try this shortcode: [um_user user_id="123" meta_key="display_name" ]

Regards,

I have added the above code in function.php and added this shortcode in UM profile form

[um_user user_id=”” meta_key=”” ]

It’s getting blank, any thing missed, can you recheck it and confirm?

Hi @kayapati

It won’t display anything because the Meta Key is blank. Meta Key value is required in the shortcode.

Hi Champ,

Thank you very much for your reply. I will look into this. The function needs to added to the functions.php file, correct?

Regards,

Richard

Champ Thank you I got it.

richard_vermeer yes, you need to add the code in function.php

OK, Thanks!

Sorry, I mistaken, I just blank I added the code in function.php and used this code;

[um_user user_id=”” meta_key=”country, gender” ]

Still getting blank.

Even I have added this also not working:

[um_user user_id=” ” meta_key=”country”]

Hi @kayapati

If you need to show the current logged-in user’s data with the shortcode, you don’t need to add the user_id. Just keep it as [um_user meta_key=”country”]
