# WordPress User fields

Fetch and display a WordPress user meta field for the user currently logged in. This shortcode, in essence, wraps around the WP PHP function [get\_user\_meta()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_user_meta/).

**Easy-to-use examples**

Below are some examples of default WordPress user meta fields. However, plugins often add their own (e.g. [\[WooCommerce\]](https://snippet-shortcodes.yeken.uk/shortcodes/sc-user-meta.html) ) this shortcode will allow you to fetch their fields too.

```
[sv slug="user-meta" field="user_login"]
[sv slug="user-meta" field="first_name"]
[sv slug="user-meta" field="last_name"]
[sv slug="user-meta" field="nickname"]
[sv slug="user-meta" field="email"]
[sv slug="user-meta" field="user_url"]
[sv slug="user-meta" field="description"]
```

**Shortcode Arguments**

The shortcode supports the following arguments:

| Argument          | Description                                | Options | Example                                                                            |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| field             | User meta field to display e.g. last\_name | text    | \[sv slug="user-meta" field="last\_name"]                                          |
| message-not-found | Message to display if field is empty       | Text    | \[sv slug="user-meta" field="last\_name" message-not-found="Last name is missing"] |
