Is the wordpress user-model changed in wpmu?
The plugin should use the API, not some made-up SQL. addslashes() is not safe enough anyway. $user = get_user_by( ’email’, ‘[email protected]’ ); echo $user->ID; Besides that, the user tables are almost the same, there are just some tighter restrictions for user names in multi-site, because new sub domains could be made from the names.
