Description

Given a valid user ID return the required field, which may be from a set such as bw_options

Q. Which do we use: get_the_author_meta() or get_user_meta() ? A. get_user_meta() is simpler but it won't return the fields from the wp_user table If we're obtaining a field from a set then we must use get_user_meta() otherwise we'll use get_the_author_meta()

Usage

bw_get_user_field( $ID, $field, $set );

Parameters

$ID

( mixed ) required –

$field

( mixed ) required –

$set

( mixed ) optional –

Returns
