Hello, I have updated Types from outdated version (1.8.11 ) to the latest. I want to improve the compatibility of my old custom code.

I used to "get_post_meta( "strasse", array( "user_id" => $user->ID ) )" to pull data from Types: hidden link hidden link hidden link and everything works fine

now I updated to fresh version of Types and I can't see these fields: hidden link

Do I need to call these fields from Types differently?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To get the user meta - you should have to use the function: get_user_meta
- https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_user_meta/

If you want to use the Types way, you should use the function: types_render_usermeta()
- https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/
[you should check the example given with every field type.]
