    I added a custom profile field – “twitter username” with register plus plugin in my blog.
    I want to add the author’s twitter profile link below the post title.
    Tried editing the single.php file using

    <?php the_author_meta( 'twitter_username' ); ?>

    for some reason the_user_meta tag isnt working, it gives some sort of error and the whole page isnt displayed properly if it is used.
    All other tags like the_author() etc are working fine.
    Does anyone know why the meta tag isnt working? or is there any other way for displaying the register plus custom field data on theme?

    Thanks !!!

    I’m using WP 2.7.1, it looks like the_author_meta() tag came after wp2.8 version. The author_meta() tag isnt defined in Wp2.7.1 author_template.php file.
    Is there any problem if i replace the Wp2.7 author template file with wp2.8, so that i can use the_author_meta() tag?
    pls help! thnks!

    Just had to figure out how to do the exact same thing. This worked for me within register-plus.php:

    <?php echo get_usermeta($un->ID, 'badge_number'); ?>

    “$un->ID” is how to call the user’s ID in register-plus.php

    And replace “badge_number” with your custom field name. Lower-case with underscore instead of spaces.
