Hi GMASJ,

In your query you have mentioned Active_Status__c = "Active"  In double Quotes can you please replace like this Active_Status__c = 'Active'
You have to define in Signle quotes for String variable. 
List<Popup_Message__c> lstOfMsg = [SELECT Message_Text__c, Start_Date__c, End_Date__c, Active_Status__c, Ordering__c, Profile__c FROM Popup_Message__c WHERE Active_Status__c = 'Active' and (Profile__c like  :('%' + profileName + '%') or Profile__c = null ) and Start_Date__c <= TODAY and End_Date__c >= TODAY Order by Ordering__c];
Let me know any help required 

Thanks &Regards

Hi GMASJ,
  
List<Popup_Message__c> lstOfMsg = [SELECT Message_Text__c, Start_Date__c, End_Date__c, Active_Status__c, Ordering__c, Profile__c FROM Popup_Message__c WHERE Active_Status__c = "Active" and (Profile__c like  :('%' + profileName + '%') or Profile__c = null ) and Start_Date__c <= TODAY and End_Date__c >= TODAY Order by Ordering__c];
Can you try above query once 

(Or)
can you please try query like this  
String j= '%'+profileName+'%';
List<Popup_Message__c> lstOfMsg = [SELECT Message_Text__c, Start_Date__c, End_Date__c, Active_Status__c, Ordering__c, Profile__c FROM Popup_Message__c WHERE Active_Status__c = "Active" and (Profile__c like  : j or Profile__c = null ) and Start_Date__c <= TODAY and End_Date__c >= TODAY Order by Ordering__c];
