bp_xprofile_get_meta( int $object_id, string $object_type, string $meta_key = '', bool $single = true )

Get a piece of xprofile metadata.

Description

Note that the default value of $single is true, unlike in the case of the underlying get_metadata() function. This is for backward compatibility.

Parameters

$object_id

(Required) ID of the object the metadata belongs to.

$object_type

(Required) Type of object. 'group', 'field', or 'data'.

$meta_key

(Optional) Key of the metadata being fetched. If omitted, all metadata for the object will be retrieved.

Default value: ''

$single

(Optional) If true, return only the first value of the specified meta_key. This parameter has no effect if meta_key is not specified. Default: true.

Default value: true

Return

(mixed) Meta value if found. False on failure.
