Tell us what you are trying to do?
Display Types User Fields on Author.php page.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/

So I have an author.php page set up.

I'm using PHP echo to display name, email etc..
i.e.

  • First Name: <?php echo $curauth->first_name; ?>
  • Last Name: <?php echo $curauth->last_name; ?>
  • Email: <?php echo $curauth->user_email; ?>
  • Which works.

    But my Types User Fields will not display. i.e.

  • Phone: <?php echo $curauth->wpcf-types_phone; ?>
  • You can see by the attached image "Types Phone Field.png" that the slug for the field is "types_phone" and I've added the wpcf- prefix as instructed here: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/ but they are not displaying.

    You would do it something like this:

     types_render_field( "my-checkboxes", array( "separator" => ", " ) )

    <?php echo types_render_usermeta( 'types_phone', array() ); ?>

    does not work as you can see here: hidden link

    I tried using the format in /wp-content/plugins/types/examples/author.php

    which is:

    <?php echo types_render_usermeta( "types_phone" ); ?>

    and it gives me this error:

    Warning: Missing argument 2 for types_render_usermeta(), called in /home/aftguild/public_html/wp-content/themes/teachsd/author.php on line 22 and defined in /home/aftguild/public_html/wp-content/plugins/types/library/toolset/types/embedded/frontend.php on line 383

    Hello,

    To further debug this issue I need to take a look at your setup and to request temporary website WP-admin and FTP info for your site to debug further and to help in resolving this. Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

    === Please backup your database and website ===

    ✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

    Thank you

    /public_html should not be at end of ftp url

    it should just be

    <em><u>hidden link</u></em>
