This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue was that the customer was using our
[types usermeta='wpcf_last_visited_class' user_current='true' output='raw'][/types]
To try and retrieve a custom user meta that he had created manually and unfortunately it does not work.
Solution:
If you manually inserted the custom field into the database without the use of Types then you will need a custom shortcode to retrieve the custom value.
I was able to write a shortcode to help retrieve this.
[get_user_field user='[wpv-current-user format="meta" info="id"]' field='wpcf_last_visited_class']
Add the following to your functions.php file
// Add Shortcode
function get_user_field( $atts ) {
// Attributes
$atts = shortcode_atts(
array(
'field' => '',
'user' => '',
),
$atts
);
$user_last = get_user_meta( $atts['user'], $atts['field'], $single );
var_dump($user_last);
return $user_last[0];
}
add_shortcode( 'get_user_field', 'get_user_field' );

Hi Shane,
I have added that field when new user registers using functions.php file.
Look at the code here
add_user_meta($user_id,'wpcf_last_visited_class',0); update_user_meta(get_current_user_id(), 'wpcf_last_visited_class', $classid);
Value is also there in database for user id = 6 , see attached screenshot.
Thanks!!
