      I am creating user profile pages on the front end of the site.

      I’m allowing them to upload a cover photo as a background image for their profile.

      i’m following this to get the profile image uploaded to the profile
      : https://piklist.com/user-guide/tutorials/displaying-images-upload-field/

      I have the field in the user’s folder in a plugin. 

      <?php
/*
Title: Profile Cover Photo
Description: Displays on your profile as a background cover image
Capability: manage_options
*/
 
// image upload
piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'file'
  ,'field' => 'cover_image'
  ,'label' => 'Upload image'
));

?>

      I can upload the image just fine.

      However, when I go to get the data back, I can’t get the id.
      ($author code is not referenced below but is a valid variable in this instance)

      $image_ids = get_user_meta($author->ID, 'cover_image');
 print_r($image_ids);

      I get on the page:

      Array ( )

      Any suggestions?

      Update: I took out the key “cover_image” and noticed there’s a item called “my_image”. Turns out it is the same as what I added.

      How do I change the key for it? I’d rather it be semantic and thought using the field key in piklist would do just that.

      @friendlyfire3– When creating forms for the front-end of your website, you need to tell Piklist the scope of each field…where to save the data.

      Add this:

      'scope' => 'user_meta'

      The field ‘my_image’ must be left over from something else. Piklist will save the field exactly how you specify it
