Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hello,
I have implemented the method described here (https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-display-users-custom-fields-on-author-archive/) to display the author information at the top of the author archive page.
I'm having trouble generating the 'alt text' of the author's profile.
I would like that in this 'alt text' we find the full name of the author.
I tried the following:
alt="[wpv-user id="[get-author-id-in-archive][/get-author-id-in-archive]" field="user_firstname"] [wpv-user id="[get-author-id-in-archive][/get-author-id-in-archive]" field="user_lastname"]"
It doesn't work because of nested quotes.
I tried to alternate quotes and apostrophes but without success.

Is there a solution ?
Thank you

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you try to use the following line of code, does that help you to fix your issue?

alt="[wpv-user id='[get-author-id-in-archive]' field='user_firstname'] [wpv-user id='[get-author-id-in-archive]' field='user_lastname']"

Hello Minesh,

Thank you for your reply.

No unfortunatly it doesn't work.

[wpv-user id='[get-author-id-in-archive]' field='user_firstname']

does not return the first name for the author for the displayed author archive.

To display it I really need to write:

[wpv-user id="[get-author-id-in-archive][/get-author-id-in-archive]" field="user_firstname"]

Is it possible for you to send me admin access details and problem URL where to what field you are trying to add the shortcode.

Let me see if I can offer you any other better workaround.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I've added the following shortcode to your theme's functions.php file to display the author image:

function func_display_alt_user_text($atts) {
  
    global $wp_query;
	
    $authorid = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
	
	$new_user = get_userdata( $authorid );
		
$first_name = $new_user->first_name;
$last_name = $new_user->last_name;
$name = $first_name.' '.$last_name;

	$x = get_avatar($authorid,96,'',$name,array('class'=>'avatar avatar-96 photo wpv-profile-picture-shape-circle'));
	
 
return $x;

 
}
add_shortcode("user_avatar_with_alt_text", "func_display_alt_user_text");

And calling the shortocde as given under outside the archive's loop:

 <figure class="bs-avatar">
[user_avatar_with_alt_text]  </figure>

Can you please confirm it works as expected.
