About my code above. Notice the very first line:

```auto
/* Assuming that you have the $user object */

$profile = $user->getOne('Profile');

```

If you don’t already have the user object, you have to get it before calling `getOne()`.

In the front end, that would be either this at the top:

```auto
$user = $modx->user;

```

or just changing the code to:

```auto
$profile = $modx->user->getOne('Profile');

```
