I’m using xprofile_set_field_data() to update a user’s profile automatically. I’m trying to insert a particular URL into their profile. I can see it inserted properly in the db, but when I view it in a profile I see that it’s been converted into an an anchortag, but it appears to be escaped improperly.

Example value copy pasted from db:
http://connect.allianceofbaptists.org/resources/user/125

My Code:

public function update_profile_field()
    {
        $field_id = $_POST['field_id'];
        $user_id = $_POST['user_id'];
        $value = $_POST['value'];
        $wp_update_hash = $_POST['hash'];

        if( $wp_update_hash != 'some hash' ) {
            return json_encode( array( 'error' => 'Unauthorized request') );
        }
        return var_export( xprofile_set_field_data( $field_id, $user_id, $value, $is_required = false ), true );
    }

Am I inserting the data in wrong?
