Contest Brief

I have been using the UPME plugin to design a member profile website that allows me to take information and show each user different profiles depending on a shortcode I put into a textarea field.

The problem I am having is using the do_shortcode call in my functions.php. I am not 100% sure if the field is being called correctly. I know it's not working as the shortcode is not loading anything up, but I do know the name of the textarea field is definitely view_matches.

Here is what I have so far print do_shortcode(the_author_meta( 'view_matches' ));

Thanks,

Les
