Getting/Setting Custom Registration/Profile Fields Configured w/ s2Member

In this article I'll explain how to get/set Custom Registration/Profile fields through PHP code. Therefore, this tutorial will be targeted at WordPress theme/plugin developers that would like to integrate with s2Member.

Note: With s2Member you can configure Custom Registration/Profile Fields in the Dashboard. See: WordPress Dashboard → s2Member → General Options → Registration/Profile Fields & Options

There is also an [s2Get /] shortcode that can be used to obtain Custom Registration/Profile Field values and present them in a WordPress Post/Page.
