Problem:
I have created a custom user field called user category which is a checkbox field so a user can tick multiple boxes when registering. If you could help me to get the Custom Field value of the user in the query. If custom field is checkboxes types, how can I check which checkboxes in group are checked?

Solution:
To get the User’s custom field value and to get the selected & saved value for a checkbox using code, we have a way for this as examples in our Types API. You would do it something like below, to insert Types user meta fields using PHP code, use the following function and syntax:

<?php echo(types_render_usermeta( 'field-slug', array( 'arg1' => 'val1', 'arg2' => 'val2' ) )); ?>

Couple more examples:

<?php echo types_render_usermeta( 'my-checkboxes', array( "user_id" => $curauth->ID ) ); ?>

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