 * I added a custom profile field – “twitter username” with register plus plugin
   in my blog.
    I want to add the author’s twitter profile link below the post title.
   Tried editing the single.php file using
 *     ```
       <?php the_author_meta( 'twitter_username' ); ?>
       ```
   
 * for some reason the_user_meta tag isnt working, it gives some sort of error and
   the whole page isnt displayed properly if it is used.
    All other tags like the_author()
   etc are working fine. Does anyone know why the meta tag isnt working? or is there
   any other way for displaying the register plus custom field data on theme?
 * Thanks !!!

 * I’m using WP 2.7.1, it looks like the_author_meta() tag came after wp2.8 version.
   The author_meta() tag isnt defined in Wp2.7.1 author_template.php file.
    Is there
   any problem if i replace the Wp2.7 author template file with wp2.8, so that i
   can use the_author_meta() tag? pls help! thnks!

 * Just had to figure out how to do the exact same thing. This worked for me within
   register-plus.php:
 * `<?php echo get_usermeta($un->ID, 'badge_number'); ?>`
 * “$un->ID” is how to call the user’s ID in register-plus.php
 * And replace “badge_number” with your custom field name. Lower-case with underscore
   instead of spaces.
