I got the answer after went through WP_User_Query documentation. Following is the final query: $args = [ ‘role__not_in’ => ‘Administrator’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘designation’, ‘meta_query ‘=> [ ‘meta_key’ => ‘designation’ ], ‘orderby’ => array( ‘meta_value’=>’ASC’ ) ]; $my_user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );

update_user_meta($current_user->ID, ‘description’, $_POST[‘user_description’]); in the form processing function will save the bio. I would keep the form action on the same admin page. As for data validation, I don’t see what there is to validate in the first place. It’s just a string – not an email, address or the like that needs to be … Read more
The function is <?php get_user_meta($user_id, $key, $single); ?> The $single is a boolean that returns a single value for true or an array if set to false, in your case you would set it to false. $user_output = get_user_meta($user_id, ‘fbasics’, false); var_dump($user_output);
If you’re trying to get user data for the displayed profile, you can do it like so: $thisauthor = get_userdata(intval($author)); That’ll return an object filled with everything you need. For instance, if you need the user ID, you can call it like so: $thisauthor->ID I use this extensively on the profiles on my site: http://androidandme.com/user/clark … Read more
You question is really “how do I make my way work?” but “what is a good way to do this?” so, maybe I am missing something, but this seems overly complex to me. Assuming that “50%”, “55%”, etc. means “xx% of the revenue for those particular page loads”, why not just track single (I assume) … Read more
get_user_meta() with omitted key argument will return all data for the object. Trying to retrieve metadata selectively is usually pointless optimization from performance point of view, since everything built on Metadata API tends to just query all data anyway and cache it (which in turn object cache plugin makes persistent and snappy).
I don’t see an “orderby Rand()” parameter for either get_users or WP_User_Query. There is a filter called pre_user_query that could be used but I am not sure I see the benefit of that when shuffle will randomize the array you already have. $args = array( ‘fields’ => ‘all_with_meta’, ‘exclude’ => array(1), ); $users = get_users( … Read more
I think you are not handling the array part correctly. The right syntax is – $new_role = array(“advocate” => 1); The syntax that you have used is shown when you print some array on your screen but it should be written in above format in your PHP code. Currently, you are capturing it as a … Read more
Trying to detect when a UI was triggered, is indeed the wrong general approach (unless you want to tie to the UI). A proper one will be to hook on the user_register action. add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘wpse223196_registration_save’, 10, 1 ); function wpse223196_registration_save( $user_id ) { add_user_meta($user_id, ‘score’, 5); }
