<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>
