bw_user_field_list() – Get field list

Description

Get field list

• The list of possible fields is infinite.
• Any plugin or theme can register its own fields stored in wp_usermeta
• Some plugins store serialized data.
• WordPress supports a variety of aliases
• And we've added a couple more, primarily so that we can use different labels
• but also to make it easier to choose the fields

Note: Fields are marked as Registered? if they need to be displayed as other than 'text', or prefixed nicely with a sensible label. Note: The label and separator can be styled using CSS To display an author-box a few of the labels and separators are set to display:no.

Field name	Alias of	Registered?
about	display_name	-
bio	description	sctext
description	user_description	sctext
display_name		-
email	user_email	email
first_name		-
forename	first_name	-
gravatar		virtual
ID	user_id	-
last_name		-
login	user_login
name	display_name
nicename	user_nicename	-
nickname		-
site	url	URL
surname	last_name	-
url	user_url	URL

Notes:

• nicename ( an alias for user_nicename ) is not the same as nickname.
• nicename is a sanitized version of login.
• nickname is something the user can choose for themselves

Fields that are better handled using shortcodes in the embedded content include: facebook | flickr | googleplus | twitter |
