    Hi. I’m doing some complex export of meta data info for my site, and I need the name of the groups the user is assign. Right now I have the group_ids but I can’t find a function or something to convert them to their names. Its not in documentation, nor I can find it here. So how can I get the NAMES of the group the user belongs to?

    $groups_user = new Groups_User($user_id);
    $user_group_ids = $groups_user->group_ids;

    result is

    array(2)
    0:’1′
    1: ‘6’

  • Hi,

    You can use something similar and retrieve the groups instead of the group ids, unless this is absolutely necessary for you.
    For example: 

    $groups_user = new Groups_User($user_id);
$user_group_ids = $groups_user->groups;

    This will return an array of groups objects that contain the group name among other properties of the group.

    Kind regards,
    George
