There is apparently an open ticket about this bug. Here is a workaround that I tested: $args = array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘last_name’, ‘role’ => ‘guest-teacher’ ); $wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query($args); $wp_user_query->query_orderby = str_replace( ‘user_login’, ‘wp_usermeta.meta_value’, $wp_user_query->query_orderby ); $wp_user_query->query(); $authors = $wp_user_query->get_results(); Problem with this is that it runs the query twice.
I came across a tutorial about ‘Custom User Taxonomies in WordPress‘ and there is a plugin based on that ‘User Taxonomies‘ but these are for creating taxonomies for Users. Have a read thought the tutorial it might help. I think what you’re talking about is to associating posts’ taxonomies with users. I think you need … Read more
I think the problem here is that in the process of violating this rule, you’ve created confusion and problems: do 1 thing per statement, 1 statement per line Coupled with another problem: Passing arrays to the APIs which get stored as serialised PHP ( security issue ) And another: Always check your assumptions it ignores … Read more
No. There are no hooks or filters to add an input field to the create user form. Maybe it is possible to add an input field via jQuery. I have not tested it. If it is pssible to add an input field, than it should be possible to save this information because the process of … Read more
After examining the code and much trial and error, I have a solution: There is a filter – user_profile_update_errors – that is called in the file wp-admin/includes/user.php just after WordPress does it’s own input validation. This filter allows plugins to return their own errors by adding them to a referenced WP_Error class. If any errors … Read more
Examining the comments for the properties in the WP_User class reveals that allcaps is: All capabilities the user has, including individual and role based. And caps is: The individual capabilities the user has been given. But you probably shouldn’t be using the properties directly. WP_User has a has_cap method that should be used instead, as … Read more
Hi @Holidaymaine: Not sure where you are doing wrong, but try the following instead which is a self contained test.php file you can drop into the root of your website and load in your browser with http://yoursite.com/test.php (assuming you replace yoursite.com with your site’s domain! Also, note how I adding in a WHERE {$wpdb->usermeta}.meta_key = … Read more
I believe Crazycoolcam spelled the table incorrectly, user_meta vs usermeta. You may also want to define the else case, what happens if the table is not user. Try this: <?php $wpdb->add_database(array( //Connect to Users Database ‘host’ => DB_HOST, // I am using the same host for my two DBs ‘user’ => DB_USER, // I am … Read more
It looks like you’re using wrong parameters, please try this instead (untested): $q = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘role’ => ‘contributor’, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘key’ => ‘first_meta’, ‘value’ => ‘2’, ), array( ‘key’ => ‘second_meta’, ‘value’ => ”, ‘compare’ => ‘!=’ ) ) ) ); where we’ve used the key, value and … Read more
You need to use get_the_author_meta() instead of the_author_meta() <?php $authorpic = get_the_author_meta(‘author_pic’); if ($authorpic) echo $authorpic; else echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’80’ ); ?>
