Edit individual custom profile field.

I use $x = do_shortcode(‘[s2Get user_field="Skill" /]‘) to get custom profile fields. I am wondering if there is an easy way to redefine $x and write it back to the same custom field inside some code. I want to store information in custom fields that the user will not see but that I can branch from depending on value, then re-write the value.

Thank you!

You can also use get_user_field().

See: http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_get_user_field()

If you need to change a Custom Registration/Profile Field value, you have to use the information provided here. These values are stored in an array in your wp_options table, so it’s a bit more complicated:
