Based on information gathered HERE and HERE; I was able to put something together. First… abandon your first approach. It will add a field value, yes. But it will not allow you to add a descriptive field. Instead, we need to create an entire new table tag in the structure that gets populated from WordPress. … Read more
Assuming you are in the back-end (admin), so the user profile page is being rendered by /wp-admin/user-edit.php – there is a global variable that indicates the id of the user whose profile we are on. If you look at the source code for user-edit.php you can see it guarantees (or will die) the existence of … Read more
The first thing you need to approach is a counter. You said “author profile” so I assume that you are talking about WP’s author page, which is an archive template identified by is_author(). And I assumed you are counting the number of visits to the author page – not visits to pages/posts by that author … Read more
thanks for that. Just one minor tweak, as the first bit of code threw up an error. Below is the working code for the first block of code. //hooks add_action( ‘show_user_profile’, ‘Add_user_fields’ ); add_action( ‘edit_user_profile’, ‘Add_user_fields’ ); function Add_user_fields( $user ) { ?> <h3>Extra fields</h3> <table class=”form-table”> <tr> <th><label for=”text”>text</label></th> <td> <?php // get test … Read more
I think an easy way to do this would be to make use of the wordpress template structure, take a look at Codex: Templates and Codex: Template Hierarchy for a general overview. But namely you could use the author templates – Codex: Author Templates – for this, so likely you will adapt the author.php file … Read more
update_option( $name, $side_ad ); Your issue here is that update_option stores the value in the options table of the site. However you’re on a multisite, and your install contains multiple sites/blogs, each with their own options tables. As a result, editing a user on blog/site A will not change the option on blog/site B, in … Read more
The current active/selected admin color scheme is a user setting, you can get its value with get_user_option( ‘admin_color’ ). $admin_color = get_user_option( ‘admin_color’ ); if you want to access the color scheme for the specific user then pass the user id as second parameter in the get_user_option() function $user1_id = 2; $user1_color = get_user_option( ‘admin_color’, … Read more
Add this code to your functions.php to add a notice for users with the subscriber role on their profile and dashboard admin pages. function wpse239290_user_welcome_notice() { // Make sure that the user is assigned to the subscriber role, specifically. // Alternatively, capabilities can be checked with current_user_can(), but roles are not supposed to be checked … Read more
It’s entirely possible that you are calling the_author_meta() from outside of your post loop in the author.php template in which case the above will not work. Instead, you can use get_the_author_meta(‘facebook’) or… get_the_author_meta(‘facebook’, $user_id) where $user_id is the ID# of the current user/author. To get the user ID you can do this; <div class=”user_social_icons”> <a … Read more
