Displaying Profile Values

Basic retrieval

Replace your_field_key with the Name set in Field Management. Pass the user ID explicitly so the display target is clear.

<?php
$value = atshift_upf_get_user_field( 'your_field_key', $user_id );
echo esc_html( $value );
?>

When retrieving directly, custom fields are stored in user meta using _atshift_upf_ followed by the field name.

<?php
$value = get_user_meta( $user_id, '_atshift_upf_your_field_key', true );
echo esc_html( $value );
?>

Output by field type

Text and choices

Text, email, number, select, and radio fields are retrieved as strings. Use esc_html() in normal page content.

<p><?php echo esc_html( atshift_upf_get_user_field( 'department', $user_id ) ); ?></p>

Textarea

To preserve line breaks, apply nl2br() after escaping.

<p><?php echo nl2br( esc_html( atshift_upf_get_user_field( 'profile_note', $user_id ) ) ); ?></p>

Image

Image fields store an image URL. Use esc_url() when outputting it in a URL attribute.

<?php $image_url = atshift_upf_get_user_field( 'profile_image', $user_id ); ?>
<?php if ( $image_url ) : ?>
  <img src="<?php echo esc_url( $image_url ); ?>" alt="">
<?php endif; ?>

Checkbox

A checked value can be treated as 1, and an unchecked value as 0.

<?php if ( '1' === (string) atshift_upf_get_user_field( 'show_profile', $user_id ) ) : ?>
  <p>This profile is public.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

WordPress standard fields

Standard fields such as username, display name, email, first name, and last name are retrieved through WordPress user APIs.

<?php
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );

if ( $user ) {
  echo esc_html( $user->display_name );
  echo esc_html( $user->user_email );
}
?>

Display safely for each context

• Normal text: esc_html()
• URLs: esc_url()
• HTML attributes: esc_attr()
• Allowed HTML only: wp_kses_post()
