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.

This plugin adds a simple toggle button to the user edit screen, allowing administrators to easily view metadata associated with the user they are currently viewing. Metadata includes all data attached to a user account. Administrator’s can also delete the usermeta.
This plugin is perfect for developers where metadata is important to view but doesn’t need to be displayed at all times.
Features: 
– Toggle to show/hide user data 
– Click-to-focus on any row 
– Delete a key/value pair

View User Metadata


Several things about this plugin: 1) It just works the way it's supposed to. 2) It doesn't have any B.S. bloatware, ads, popups etc. 3) What it does have, that I haven't seen before, is a string change in the plugins.php that creates a link "Need help?" link to an external link. Couple things about that: It's extremely non-obtrusive, and not-annoying. In fact, it's right where it's supposed to be. If you're looking at that line in the screen, you probably need help with that plugin. It's real estate the plugin owns. HOWEVER, the user has to see it every time they look at plugins.php. That's a great idea from a plugin developer pov. It's unobtrusive, and you HAVE to see it all the time. Anyway, I'm stealing that idea. Oh, the plugin is great too! :)


Wow!

A lightweight plugin that allows you to view user metadata, export them CSV or JSON, or delete key/value pairs.
