wp_get_current_user() is actually just a wrapper for $current_user and get_currentuserinfo(), so you can use both. It’s important, though, to only call it on or after the init hook. Calling it before will only return 0, as you’ve experienced.
You technically don’t have to set a nickname, it will be filled with your username if you clear the field out. Display name is selectable between the user’s username, first name, last name, first/last, or last/first, or nickname. The nickname exists to give you an option to set display name to something other than your … Read more
Haven’t used the function for quite a time, but i guess your problem is that you are pushing an array into an array. So check if intval($_GET[‘auction’]) is an array: echo ‘<pre>’; print_r(intval($_GET[‘auction’])); echo ‘</pre>’; Edit #1: You maybe need to get the value from that array and then array_push it. So maybe something like … Read more
There is no one answer, because both have pros and cons depending on what you want to store and why. A (probably non-exhaustive) list of differences to consider for a choice: Capabilities are designed to check if a user can do something or not. user_can and current_user_can are there to help you to check user … Read more
You can use the just the meta_key argument, the result will be similar to using the EXISTS sql statement. <?php $users = get_users(array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘your_meta_key’, )); Alternatively, you can use an empty string for meta_value (the default) and > for meta_compare. The result is the same (probably because meta_value gets ignored if its empty!). … Read more
WordPress distinguishes usermeta keys between sites by using the database prefix for each site. For example, instead of using the favorite_posts key, you’d use the meta key wp_23_favorite_posts. To get the prefix, you can use $wpdb->get_blog_prefix(). But wait, there’s actually a whole API dedicated to this. Rather than using *_user_meta(), use *_user_option(). These are internally … Read more
Check this plugin: User Avatar. You can use it or check its functions to adapt yours.
wp_update_user & metadata wp_update_user updates records in the *_users table. It isn’t meant to update custom metadata in the *_usermeta table. Hence your “problem” is actually expected behavior. The $userdata argument passed to wp_update_user can contain the following fields: ID, user_pass, user_login, user_nicename, user_url, user_email, display_name, nickname, first_name, last_name, description, rich_editing, user_registered, role, show_admin_bar_front Further … Read more
Apparently there is no core implementation of ‘tax_query’ in WP_User_Query yet. Check the ticket here for more info –> https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31383 Nevertheless there is an alternative way using get_objects_in_term $taxonomy = ‘shop-category’; $users = get_objects_in_term( $term_id, $taxonomy ); if(!empty($users)){ // WP_User_Query arguments $args = array ( ‘role’ => ‘shop_manager’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘user_registered’, ‘include’ … Read more
Clients get added by admins, clients have a parent child relationship with employees which makes filtering easy. So all we need to do is remove anything that doesn’t have to do with employees and filter for employees with a certain meta value. First thing’s first, whenever a new user is registered on the admin side … Read more
