 * Hello,
 * Could you please assist me with this issue? When I use the following shortcode:
   [
   xprofile field=179 user=”DJohnson”]
 * I get this error:
    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_User could not be
   converted to string in /…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-
   bp-xprofile-profiledata.php on line 369
 * This is the code for that section for line 369
 *     ```
       // Assemble uncached IDs
       		$uncached_ids = array();
       		foreach ( $user_ids as $user_id ) {
       			$cache_key = "{$user_id}:{$field_id}";
       			if ( false === wp_cache_get( $cache_key, 'bp_xprofile_data' ) ) {
       				$uncached_ids[] = $user_id;
       			}
       		}
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance!
