How to Display a User-Uploaded Image URL in WordPress Using User Meta

If you’re working with WordPress and have users who upload images—particularly through a plugin like Paid Memberships Pro Register Helper—you might find yourself needing to display these images on a template page. This leads to the common challenge: How do you retrieve and display the full URL of a user-uploaded image from user meta? Fortunately, the solution is straightforward, and I'll walk you through the process step by step.

Understanding User Meta in WordPress

Before diving into the solution, it’s important to understand what user meta is in the context of WordPress:

User Meta: This is the additional information stored about users in the WordPress database. It can include anything from profile images to various settings or preferences.

How it works: In the code you provided, the image data is stored as an associative array, which contains different pieces of information, such as filename, fullpath, and fullurl.

Gathering User Data

In your scenario, you’ve already set up the necessary code to retrieve the user meta data for the image. Here’s how it goes:

What do these lines do?

$key = 'logo';: logo is the meta key you're retrieving.

$single = true;: This parameter indicates you want a single value instead of an array of values.

$user_last = get_user_meta( $user_id, $key, $single );: This line fetches the user meta data based on the user's ID.

Accessing the Full URL of the Image

Once you have the user meta data, you’ll want to extract the fullurl value from the array returned. This is how you can do it:

Explanation of the Code

if(!empty($user_last)): This conditional checks if the $user_last array is not empty. It's a good practice to ensure that there is data before attempting to access it.

echo $user_last['fullurl'];: This line simply outputs the URL of the image to your webpage.

Final Placement in Your Template

Now, let's put it all together. Here’s what your complete code could look like in your template file:
