<p>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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The list of useful user custom field values that are provided by default in WordPress are:</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>

<h3>Developer Documentation</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>As an overview, these are the template tags provided the plugin:</p>
<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>
<p>These are the hooks provided by the plugin:</p>
<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>
<p>The shortcode provided is <code>[user_custom_field]</code>, which has a number of attributes to customize its behavior and output.</p>

<h3>IMPORTANT UPDATE</h3>
<p>Since PMPro version 2.9 was released on July 18, 2022, this plugin is no longer needed to manage user fields. With PMPro 2.9+, you can manage user fields from the Memberships > Settings > User Fields page in the WP admin dashboard. Any custom code written to work with Register Helper will still work as intended with only PMPro 2.9 installed.</p>
<p><em>This plugin will no longer be maintained.</em></p>
<p>If you were using the member directory features, you should use the <a href="https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/member-directory/" rel="nofollow ugc">PMPro Member Directory plugin</a>.</p>
<p>If you were using the Register Form module with PMPro, you should consider using the <a href="https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/pmpro-signup-shortcode/" rel="nofollow ugc">PMPro Sign Up Shortcode plugin</a>).</p>
<p>If you were using the Register Form without PMPro, you can continue to use this plugin, but note that it will no longer be maintained.</p>
<p>If you were using the Restrict by Email/Username feature, you should use <a href="https://github.com/strangerstudios/pmpro-snippets-library/blob/dev/checkout/restrict-checkout-by-email-or-username.php" rel="nofollow ugc">this code snippet instead</a>.</p>
<h3>The most popular WordPress plugin for custom user fields and member profiles.</h3>

<li>Managed in the WordPress admin area on the “Your Profile” screen (for users).</li>

<h3>Supports Multiple Field Types</h3>
<p>Choose from a variety of popular user field types to capture additional information about your members. Fields can be customized by the member’s selected or active membership level. The most popular field types include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Text and Textarea</li>
<li>Select and Select2 (multi-select)</li>
<li>Checkbox, Grouped Checkboxes, and Radio Select</li>
<li>Date</li>
<li>File Upload</li>
<li>Read-only</li>
<li>HTML (generates any desired HTML)</li>
<li>Hidden</li>
</ul>
<h4>Adding Fields For Specific Membership Levels</h4>
<p>This plugin is built for Paid Memberships Pro, the top WordPress membership plugin that’s 100% free. You can add your fields for all members, or choose to show a field for specific members only. For example, allow your Premium level members to add a full length bio and upload a resume, while your Starter members can only add a brief bio and no file upload.</p>
<p>Custom user fields are a way to gather more information about your members and create a more tailored, premium experience.</p>
<h4>Conditional User Field Logic</h4>
<p>Any registered field can be a conditional field. These fields use JavaScript to dynamically hide or show based on another field’s value.</p>
<h4>Create a Public or Private Member Directory</h4>
<p>Many sites use these custom fields to build a member directory for site visitors or members. You can customize which fields are displayed based on membership level. Read the <a href="https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/member-directory/?utm_source=wordpress-org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=pmpro-register-helper" rel="nofollow ugc">Member Directory and Profiles for PMPro</a> documentation page for more information on this feature.</p>
<h4>Restrict Membership Checkout by Email Address or Username</h4>
<p>Add your list of custom “approved” email addresses or usernames to the “Restrict by Email” or “Restrict by Username” field on the Memberships > Settings > Membership Levels > Edit Level admin page.</p>
