What you want to do is hook into the authenticate hook, check if the user has the pending role, and if so, throw an error. //* Add filter to the authenticate hook add_filter( ‘authenticate’, ‘wpse_263762_authenticate’, 20, 3 ); function wpse_263762_authenticate( $user, $username, $password ) { //* Check if the user has the pending role if( … Read more
Yes it will give you infinite loop, because you’re calling the WP_User::set_role method within the set_user_role action that’s again fired within the the WP_User::set_role method. Not sure what the setup is but you can try to run it only once, with remove_action( current_action(), __FUNCTION__ ); as the first line in your callback, or use another … Read more
You have assigned custom capabilities to post type, but did you assigned these capabilities to user roles or users? This is not done automatically, and adding custom caps to post types doesn’t add those caps to the roles or users. You have two solutions: Register post type without the ‘capabilities’ options, and it will fall … Read more
WordPress does provide you with the ability to save meta data for users, so you could just store the agent’s user id in a meta field of his subscribers, like update_user_meta( $user_id, “agent”, $agent_id ). You can then query those users with the WP_User_Query’s meta_query, e.g. $agents_subscribers = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘agent’, ‘meta_value’ … Read more

WP can’t redirect after you have already output HTML – so move your if/else to the top, before you call for the header, and only output the header & footer if your condition is met. Also, instead of using current_user_can(‘role’), use current_user_can(‘capability’) – i.e. <?php if( current_user_can(‘activate_plugins’) || current_user_can(‘edit_a_defined_custom_post_type’) ) { get_header(); ?> <div>Restricted content … Read more
Off the top of my head, you should be able to do something like this: $role = get_role( ‘client’ ); if ( $role && $role->has_cap( ‘install_plugins’ ) ) { // Role not updated yet, so update it. $role->remove_cap( ‘install_plugins’ ); } get_role() returns a WP_Role object on success and WP_Role::remove_cap() calls WP_Roles::remove_cap(), which directly updates … Read more
Yes, the get_users_of_blog() function is deprecated, and the reason your code breaks after using get_users() is the ->user_id part, you should use ->ID instead. $blogusers = get_users(); if ($blogusers) { foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) { $args = array( ‘author’ => $bloguser->ID, ‘showposts’ => 1, ); $my_query = new WP_Query($args); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { while ($my_query->have_posts()) … Read more
