My goal is to dynamically pull the GF User Meta info onto the user profile page so admins can view this extra information from the back-end.

But using the same meta_user_data in both spots, it still isn't coming over. Any thoughts? advantageim on "The User Registration Add-on: Limitation?

I think I have it figured out. advantageim on "The User Registration Add-on: Limitation?

I understand how it works with the scripting for the plugin, but how do I determine the "my_user_meta" name from what I'm inputting into Gravity Forms. For example, I am using the Address input from GF. That means that I need to create custom user fields for Street Address, City, State, and Zip in the wordpress backend. How do I add/determine what the "my_user_meta" value is from GF. Is there somewhere in the backend that I need to specify what that value is? Is it the name? etc. Sorry, I hope that what I'm saying makes sense. David Smith on "The User Registration Add-on: Limitation?

Example: <a href="http://grab.by/b3Uv" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/b3Uv</a> = "my_user_meta" So to retrieve the value for that meta key you would do: <pre><code>[php] get_the_author_meta( 'my_user_meta', $user->ID );</code></pre> advantageim on "The User Registration Add-on: Limitation?

Essentially how do I map the GF field to the profile field? David Smith on "The User Registration Add-on: Limitation?

Then I read what the limitation of the Add-on is: Limitations The User Registration Add-on v1.0 does not automatically add custom meta fields to the WordPress user profile page. Isn't that the whole point of an Add-on like this? Why else would you use something other than then default registration of "usename" and "email"? What that being said... is there another way to expand the user profile with extra meta boxes?
