Description

This function returns the desired meta data for a user. If used within The Loop, the user ID need not be specified, and the displayed data is that of the current post author. A user ID must be specified if used outside The Loop.

get_the_author_meta() returns the data for use in PHP. To display the information instead, use the_author_meta()

If the specified meta field does not exist for this user, the empty string is returned.
