    I’m using a custom profile template in order to control design and content structure. In my template, various fields like this work fine:

    <?php echo um_user('nickname'); ?>

    However, when I tried using this with the metakey I created, the output is “Array”. So…

    <?php echo um_user('mybands'); ?>

    Just outputs “Array”.

    Possible you could provide the code for displaying the content so I can use it in a custom template?

    Thanks in advance!

    Assuming that mybands is one of the fields set up with this plugin and thus only contains ids, but you want the actual name of the band to display you can do something like this:

    <?php if (um_user('student_subjects')) {
$subjects = um_user('student_subjects');
$subject_output = array();
foreach ($subjects as $subject) {
  $subject_output[] = get_the_title( $subject );
}
echo implode(", ",$subject_output);
} else { echo "No data";} ?>

    The above code was however used for a link to a custom post type. If mybands is linking to another user role the code would have to be adjusted for getting user data.

    Ah yes, its for a user role. Sorry I didn’t say that before.

    You can try the following code, but it is untested.

    <?php if (um_user('mybands')) {
$bands = um_user('mybands');
$bands_output = array();
foreach ($bands as $band) {
  $user_info = get_userdata($band);
  $bands_output[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink(get_option('um_core_pages')['user']) . $user_info->ID . '">' . $user_info->display_name . '</a>';
}
echo implode(", ",$bands_output);
} ?>
