Hi there

I want to add more fields to the users profile and also display them under the users role in posts.

I just want it to fetch the information from the users meta data.

How ever the following does not appear to work

`
<?php

function add_author_details( $user_details ){

/* Add author details */
$user_details['soldier'] = __('Soldier Name');

return $user_details;
}
add_filter('user_adddetails', 'add_author_details');

function add_author_details_author() {

echo get_user_meta(bbp_get_reply_author_id(), 'soldier', true);

}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'add_author_details_author' ); ?>
`

Any help would be appreciated.

Use WordPress’ user_contactmethods

also either use or crack open my plugin that does exactly this, you’ll find all the code in there

Thanks heaps for your help guys.

I ended up using Robins plugin, I edited his display.php file.

For future reference for others, here is what I did
I replaced every rpi_label1 with the name of table in SQL database, this works great.

I needed it to work like that because the fields are completed upon registration.

great – glad it worked and saved you some time 🙂
