How to output on author.php

Having installed this, attached a taxonomy to Users and begun ticking the values on User profiles…

How would I output the term meta on a User’s author.php profile page?

In my scenario, taxonomy is “firms”, and, since ‘single_value’ is defined ‘true’, a User can only be associated with a single “firm”.

Term meta for “firms” is various details about that firm, eg. firm_geo_city. My goal is, on author.php, to output the details of the “firm” to which s/he belongs.

I presume I should use get_term_meta, but I’m not sure how.

best to use wp_get_object_terms:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_object_terms

and edit author.php and add something like this:

<?php $user_terms = wp_get_object_terms( user->ID, ‘firms’ );
if ( ! empty( $user_terms ) ) {
if ( ! is_wp_error( $user_terms ) ) {
echo ‘
- slug, ‘firms’ ) . ‘”>’ . esc_html( $term->name ) . ‘
‘;
}
}

?>

sorry the forum manged my code but you get the drift, use the user-.ID as the object and the user taxonomy as the taxonomy then loop through the results

Then obviously use get term meta within the loop to get the meta data foir each term (including geo in your example)

Thank-you, Peter – and for the plugin generally.

I went with…

$firm_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $curauth->ID, 'firm' );

Then, for name, slug or description…
```
  if ( ! empty( $firm_terms ) ) {
      if ( ! is_wp_error( $firm_terms ) ) {
              foreach( $firm_terms as $term ) {
                  <strong>echo $term->slug</strong>;
              }
      }
  }
```
but, for other meta…
```
  if ( ! empty( $firm_terms ) ) {
      if ( ! is_wp_error( $firm_terms ) ) {
              foreach( $firm_terms as $term ) {
                  echo <strong>get_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'firm_site_url', true )</strong>;
              }
      }
  }
```
The difference I hadn’t realised was – you call those three standard taxonomy metas (name, slug, description) directly with $term->name, but you call extra added meta using get_term_meta.
