• The registration code shows that you have registered fields for a user, and the screenshot seems to confirm that. For user meta, you need to use get_user_meta(), so I'm not sure why you are using get_post_meta() to get the data. – Fränk Commented Jul 7, 2020 at 14:19

According to CMB2 documentation, instead of

<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'author_sign', true) ?>" alt="">

you should use something like

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'author_sign', true ), 'medium' ); ?>

or

<img src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image_url( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'author_sign', true ), 'medium' ); ?>" alt="">
