    Hello,

    I used this rwmb_meta( 'MyFieldIDForAUserField','',$post->ID);
    And then use get_userdata() to get user info,

    But it has stopped working. I tried rwmb_get_value, but that then broke everything!!

    How do I now get the user ID of a selected user from a custom field? Thanks!

    Hello Yasmine,

    Do you see any error messages on your site when getting the user data? What will display if you get the field user value?

    echo "<pre>";
print_r( rwmb_meta( 'MyFieldIDForAUserField','',$post->ID) );
echo "</pre>";

    and lastly, please update Meta Box to the latest version 5.6.13 and see if it works again.

    Hi Peter,

    I do not get anything with a print_r on a new template using a test post. But it is definitely the correct ID (with prefix included) and there is definitely a value in the test post to output. No error messages when trying to get the value.

    But I use elementor as my page builder, with the elementor dynamic conditions tool, I can successfully output the test post value. Does that use the rwmb_meta() ?

    I also checked in my code with a wp_mail(...sprintf()) and all the other fields had a value except this one and another number field where the value was also an integer.

    Many thanks,
    Yasmine
