So I have been trying all night to get my front-end user query to work.
I have the loop working, and can display default user data like “display_name” easily, but when I try to add custom user meta added by ACF “org_name” it doesn’t show anything. I have linked to screenshots of all of my code/settings. Any idea what I need to do?
HTML created by current code
My current code
My organization fields
Proof that I have data saved in the test user
Hey man!
You must use something like that:
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
get_field("key","user_".$user_id);
the_field("key","user_".$user_id);
Hey, @vverner, thanks for the reply! I added your code (not sure if it’s in the right place though ) but nothing happened. The code below still just outputs the display_name but not the org_name field.
Is it in the wrong place? What else am I doing wrong?
<?php
$args = array(
'role' => 'organization',
'orderby' => 'login',
'order' => 'ASC',
);
$org_users = get_users( $args );
foreach ($org_users as $user) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
get_field("org_name","user_".$user_id);
echo '<div class="resource-item">';
echo '<p>';
echo esc_html( $user->display_name );
echo the_field("org_name","user_".$user_id);
echo '<br>';
echo '</p>';
echo '</div>';
}
?>
You can’t use “get_current_user_id()” inside the loop, sorry about that, try this instead:
foreach ($org_users as $user) {
$user_id = $user->user_id
[.....]
Boom thanks @vverner!
it ended up being:
$user_id = $user->ID;
not
$user_id = $user->user_id
But yours got me there! Thanks!
