Adding Registration Fields to Author Template?

This fails because the variable $user_id doesn’t have the current authors user id.

I don’t know how your author.php is coded, but this way you can get the user details:
[php]
if( isset( $_GET[‘author_name’] ) ) {
$profile_user = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
} else {
$profile_user = get_userdata(intval($author));
}
[/php]
Now echo get_user_meta( $profile_user->ID, 'company_registration_name', true ); should print your custom field. Even echo $profile_user->company_registration_name; might print your company name.

Ahh, ok my template had this:

if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;

I changed to what you suggested and it works now. Great 🙂

Hmmm, but then when I add this it echos no information:

<?php echo get_user_meta( $profile_user->ID, 'user_url', true ); ?>

the user_url is the correct metakey that WPUF uses when using the “Website” from the Profile Field in the Registration Form, correct?

Yes, WP stores the profiles URL field in that meta key

Ok, then things are getting confusing. I am using Theme My Login and the URL fields for that and the Profile field for WPUF seem in conflict and confusing. I am trying to figure it all out now — I’m sure it is a simple solution but it is troublesome right now 😉

There’s nothing confusing. The “Website” field is the same what you see in /wp-admin/profile.php form. It also stores the URL in user_url custom field.

Right, but here is the situation:

1) In the Registration Form I created with WPUF, I have a “User URL: Company Website” field.

2) When a user registers from the frontend, they see a field called “Company Website” and they enter their details, such as http://www.yahoo.com

3) And after they login, they can adjust their profile’s details from the frontend at http://www.mywebsite.com/profile

4) But when I login to PHPmyuadmin, I only see a field called “company_website” and that is populated by the info from registration in #1 and #2 above.

5) The details in the Profile Edit page in #3 above are not the same as #1/#2, and when I try echoing user_url I get nothing, but when I echo company_website I do return the value from #1/#2 above.

So my problem is where is user_url? And why are the details in #3 different?

Ok, I found the problem. There is a conflict with the WATS plugin and WPUF somehow. I am unclear how it conflicts, but I found info in the mysql and deleted the data. I will continue to troubleshoot.
