The solution was to move the update_options into the second function.

Hide a nav menu item based on get_user_meta results

I’d have 2 menus, and show the 2nd only if the user meet criteria. Then, use CSS to show both menus like its only one. I think it’s the easiest way. And you have the benefit that the items aren’t really there, not just hidden.

Removing “HTTP://” From the_author_meta?

Assuming that the author’s id is $author_id, the following code should work. You can of course use this to create your own function. <?php $url = get_the_author_meta(‘user_url’, $author_id); ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/26599/<?php echo $url; ?>”><?php echo str_replace(‘http://’, ”, $url);?></a>

Trying to display posts by authors in with specific user meta

$args is a variable and as such should not be wrapped in quotes in the arguments array of query_posts(). Now that should be what’s causing the whole thing to fail.

You could try using get_users, Is this what you are trying to achieve: <?php $blogusers = get_users(‘meta_value=Referral’); foreach ($blogusers as $user) { echo $user->user_email; } ?> Untested.

Echo text if field under user_meta is empty with get_users()

When you have that much code to output concatenating it into one string like that makes it very difficult to read for others and yourself, also, to debug when things go wrong. Try this method for concatenating your output, $blogusers = get_users(‘role=contributor&orderby=display_name’); foreach ($blogusers as $user) { $name = $user->display_name; $url = get_author_posts_url($user->ID, $author_nicename); $class … Read more
