Before answer, a side note: what you want can be done a in a lot simpler and more performant way just creating a real post type: register a cpt, maybe not public (so no ui is showed on dashboard), and on user profile saving/updating just create/update a cpt entry. Doing so you do not need … Read more
This will add a new column to the Users admin and show their last login. <?php /* Plugin Name: (#158276) WPSE | Last user login */ // Add user meta `last_login` that saves the UNIX time stamp // to identify the exact time when a user logged in add_action( ‘wp_login’, ‘add_login_time’ ); function add_login_time( $user_login … Read more
Might be overkill, but you might want to take a look at BuddyPress – it’s an actively developed project that extends WordPress with social networking features.
The filter to use to modify the e-mail sent to a user when they change their e-mail address is email_change_email. Note that this is different from password_change_email which you’ve used in your original code. That filter allows you to modify the e-mail sent to the user when their password is changed. These two filters work … Read more
What if you use IN operator and split the search term in a words array: $args = array( ‘role’ => ‘Subscriber’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘membership_class’, ‘value’ => ‘Full’, ‘compare’ => ‘=’, ‘type’ => ‘CHAR’, ), array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘first_name’, ‘value’ => explode( ‘ ‘, $usersearch ), ‘compare’ => … Read more
I think at leasts one approach to this would be the following process: – get all posts by authors – foreach post: – get the author user_meta genere – update the post_meta with that value I have not tested any of the code below, so I wouldn’t copy/paste. But hopefully reading through it will get … Read more
Try passing the value without serializing it manually, because WordPress will do it for you anyway: add_user_meta( $user->id, ‘orewpst_capabilities’, array( ‘author’ => 1 ), true ); or update_user_meta( $user->id, ‘orewpst_capabilities’, array( ‘author’ => 1 ) ); // it will create the meta data for you if it doesn’t exist already. The s:23 means that you … Read more
I haven’t an ready to use solution. However I think you should enhance the query, so that you have the field of the users inside this. I think the follow example demonstrate it more. The two filter hooks are necessary and get an result for the query like this: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wpbeta_posts.ID FROM wpbeta_posts JOIN … Read more
You can use user_register add_action(‘user_register’, ‘wpse42506_user_register’, 10, 3); function wpse42506_user_register( $user_ID ) { // do stuff here } If you want to just use the user information, you can use get_userdata http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata If you need more control, you can initiate a new WP_User http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User
You forgot option 3 – Add a special table in which the pair (user,post id) will be the index. Ok I am not a MySQL person so maybe it is too extreme, but maybe having two tables one with users as index and one with posts will be even better. The thing about performance is … Read more
