Add method for tracking who referred new users

get users nickname uploaded media
Got it to work $temp_post = get_post($post_id); $user_id = $temp_post->post_author; $user_login = get_the_author_meta(‘user_login’,$user_id); echo $user_login;
How do I change the user via SQL?
You probably haven’t changed the display name, which is probably what is being displayed. “nicename” is used for the author’s posts page url and not for display. UPDATE wp_users SET display_name = replace(display_name, @old_user, @new_user);
Store extra user values permanently
update_user_meta will store the value permanently, as you are expecting. How ever in your case, there are multiple scenerio where you can loose those data.

Creating multiple profiles under one user to assign to particular posts
Sounds to me like “Profiles” should be a custom post type with custom fields. You can then relate the profiles to the users via a custom taxonomy or even more crudely by just storing the Profile post ids as meta data of the User.

Users are required to login to my site. How define user.member boolean, its permissions, and conditionally display/handle behavior based on it
To store user–specific information WordPress has a user meta, pretty much identical to post meta (also known as custom fields). See get_user_meta() and related functions.

How to display checkbox meta array values one by one?
