    I’m using the shortcode [wpmem_field <fieldname>] and it returns empty, but only when looking at fieldnames with type ‘select’.

    I can pull text values well. I’m definitely logged in, and the select fields are definitely set with correct values. I’m sure I’m using the right meta key name.

    What I’m actually doing is this:

    $somevariable = do_shortcode(“[wpmem_field <fieldname>]”);

    echo $somevariable;

    The variable is empty but only when fieldname is a select type field name.
    Could it be that the variable is holding some sort of non-string object?

    Little help anyone?

    What version are you using? There is an issue with the select field in 3.2.5, but it should be resolved in 3.2.5.1. If you are in fact using 3.2.5.1 with the same issue, then let me know.

    BTW, using do_shortcode() for displaying a user meta field is huge waste of resources. In most cases, it’s better to use get_user_meta() instead. (Or use the wpmem_do_shortcode() utility, which runs the direct callback function instead of running the full regex that do_shortcode() has to run).
