AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Get User Custom Field Values is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Scott Reilly — established developer track record

How Get User Custom Field Values works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin provides a powerful widget, shortcode (with shortcode builder tool), and template tags for easily retrieving and displaying custom field values for the currently logged in user or any specified user.
This plugin provides functionality similar to the Get Custom Field Values plugin, but for user custom fields (which WordPress manages in a separate database table).
This plugin does NOT help you in setting user custom field values, nor does it provide an interface to list or otherwise manage user custom fields.
The list of useful user custom field values that are provided by default in WordPress are:
first_name
last_name
nickname
description
aim
yim
jabber
It is up to other plugins or custom code to add additional user custom fields that you may then be able to retrieve with this plugin.
