What is the exact meta_key and meta_value for the field I created using the function custom_user_profile_fields ? created_by and some user ID, for example: $args = array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘created_by’, ‘meta_value’ => 123, ) You could use a meta_query for more complex searches. $args = array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘created_by’, ‘compare’ => … Read more
You have to trigger the following hooks: user_register personal_options_update edit_user_profile_update add_action(‘user_register’, ‘addMyCustomMeta’); add_action(‘personal_options_update’, ‘addMyCustomMeta’ ); add_action(‘edit_user_profile_update’,’addMyCustomMeta’ ); function addMyCustomMeta( $user_id ) { update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘user_phone’, $_POST[‘user_phone’] ); } Hope that helps!!
This is a super old post, for all you future readers, you can use the delete_metadata() function to achieve this with a lot less DB overhead: delete_metadata( ‘user’, // the meta type 0, // this doesn’t actually matter in this call ‘my_meta_key’, // the meta key to be removed everywhere ”, // this also doesn’t … Read more
It depends on what exact action you are using, and what the purpose of that action is. For the update actions, for example, there should always be hooks that are triggered before doing the change (so that you may change or prevent it), and hooks that are triggered after the change has been completed (so … Read more
If you are working with serialized data as your meta_value, that sucks, as Pieter suggested, it’s best not to. However if there is no way around the serialization problem then I wonder if a meta_query using a compare value of LIKE might help… Example: //psuedo serialized data… (e.g. value of meta_key = fruits_user_like) //a:4:{i:0;s:5:”apple”;i:1;s:6:”orange”;i:2;s:6:”banana”;i:3;s:31:”serialized_data_sucks_sometimes”;} $users … Read more
In your original code, you’re not passing an operator to meta_compare. Note that get_users() does not define a default operator. Try using ‘=’: $args = array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘custom-usermeta’, ‘meta_value’ => $cat_id, ‘meta_compare’ => ‘=’ ); $users = get_users( $args ); As a diagnostic, you might make sure that the problem isn’t the saving/querying by … Read more
I just had a project where i needed to create a search by user meta form and i ended up creating a shortcode for it, i just altered it a bit to show you how to make it work with your fields, so just paste this code inside your theme’s functions.php file or a plugin … Read more
Roles First of all you need to register the 2 roles, look at add_role. When you register the role, you are free to assign any capability you want. Only be careful to add the roles when your theme / plugin is activated and possibly remove them (see remove_role) when it is disabled. Meta Data You … Read more
As far as i know it should be possible to login with your email with wp 3.1, which will come soon. Using an email as username is already possible. “@” and “.” are allowed characters for usernames. Hope that helps.
Actually I found this to be more strait forward and simpler: //add columns to User panel list page function add_user_columns($column) { $column[‘address’] = ‘Street Address’; $column[‘zipcode’] = ‘Zip Code’; return $column; } add_filter( ‘manage_users_columns’, ‘add_user_columns’ ); //add the data function add_user_column_data( $val, $column_name, $user_id ) { $user = get_userdata($user_id); switch ($column_name) { case ‘address’ : … Read more
