This plugin provides a powerful widget, shortcode (with shortcode builder tool), and template tags for easily retrieving and displaying custom field values for the currently logged in user or any specified user.
This plugin provides functionality similar to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/get-custom-field-values/" rel="ugc">Get Custom Field Values</a> plugin, but for user custom fields (which WordPress manages in a separate database table).
This plugin does NOT help you in setting user custom field values, nor does it provide an interface to list or otherwise manage user custom fields.
The list of useful user custom field values that are provided by default in WordPress are:
<ul>
<li>first_name</li>
<li>last_name</li>
<li>nickname</li>
<li>description</li>
<li>aim</li>
<li>yim</li>
<li>jabber</li>
</ul>
It is up to other plugins or custom code to add additional user custom fields that you may then be able to retrieve with this plugin.

<h3>Developer Documentation</h3>
Developer documentation can be found in <a href="https://github.com/coffee2code/get-custom-field-values/blob/master/DEVELOPER-DOCS.md" rel="nofollow ugc">DEVELOPER-DOCS.md</a>. That documentation covers the numerous template tags, hooks, and shortcode provided by the plugin.
As an overview, these are the template tags provided the plugin:
<ul>
<li><code>c2c_get_current_user_custom()</code> : Template tag to get custom fields for the currently logged in user.</li>
<li><code>c2c_get_author_custom()</code> : Template tag to get custom fields for the current author (when on the permalink page for a post, page, or in a loop).</li>
<li><code>c2c_get_user_custom()</code> : Template tag to get custom fields for a specified user.</li>
</ul>
These are the hooks provided by the plugin:
<ul>
<li><code>c2c_get_current_user_custom</code> : An alternative approach to safely invoke <code>c2c_get_current_user_custom()</code> in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.</li>
<li><code>c2c_get_author_custom</code> : An alternative approach to safely invoke <code>c2c_get_author_custom()</code> in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.</li>
<li><code>c2c_get_user_custom</code> : An alternative approach to safely invoke <code>c2c_get_user_custom()</code> in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.</li>
<li><code>c2c_get_user_custom_field_values_shortcode</code> : Filter to customize the name of the plugin’s shortcode.</li>
<li><code>c2c_get_user_custom-user_field_proxy</code> : Filter to prevent proxying to user object fields if no value for the custom field was found for the user.</li>
<li><code>get_user_custom_field_values/can_author_use_shortcodes</code> : Filter to customize if post author can make use of the ‘user_custom_field’ shortcode.</li>
<li><code>get_user_custom_field_values/show_metabox</code> : Filter to customize if the shortcode builder metabox is shown.</li>
</ul>
The shortcode provided is <code>[user_custom_field]</code>, which has a number of attributes to customize its behavior and output.

There are times when your database gets filled up with duplicate entries that you may not want. Cleanup Duplicate Meta allows you to check for any duplicates in either the Post Meta or User Meta tables. Then if you want to get rid of them, simply click on the Cleanup button and Cleanup Duplicate Meta deletes the duplicates leaving either the first or last meta (you select which).
The interface is simple and easy to use:
<ol>
<li>‘Check for Duplicates’ queries the database and then displays all the duplicates found.</li>
<li>‘Count Duplicates’ counts all the duplicates found in the database (i.e. a total count).</li>
<li>The ‘Cleanup’ buttons trigger a SQL query to run, which deletes each of the duplicate entries, leaving either the first or last one (per your selection) in the database. All non-duplicates remain untouched by the plugin.</li>
</ol>
See the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cleanup-duplicate-meta/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots tab</a> for more details.

Cleanup Duplicate Meta

I was just about to write up my own plugin as a soltuion to clearing duplicates when I can across this plugin.
Cleanup Duplicate Meta is an awesome plugin that just saved me a good deal of time. Within a few minutes of installing the plugin I had successfully purged around 3,200 duplicate entries from a clients database (after taking a backup ;]).
Thanks for putting this plugin up in the repo for others to take advantage of!

Great Plugin

This plugin is perfect when working with a client database that has not been maintained properly. Goodbye duplicates. Thank you!



Easy to Use and Helpful

Cleaned up nearly 70,000 redundant _postmeta records with just a couple of clicks. Top marks.

Works perfect

Cleanup Duplicate Meta gives you a tool to check for and delete duplicate Post and/or User Meta entries in the database tables.
