Just pass the user id to this function: function get_role($user_id) { if(is_int($user_id)) { $user = new WP_User( $user_id ); if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) { foreach ( $user->roles as $role ) echo $role; } } else echo “Something else”; }
In the end I found this plugin that did the job in two seconds. http://wordpress.org/plugins/map-cap/ . I’m still curious to know how its done but I suppose I can always study the plugin.
Presumably you’ve saved an expiration data somewhere, so setup a wp_cron job to run daily. That job should check the expiration dates, and change the roles for users whose dates are past. if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( ‘alter_user_role_hook’ ) ) { wp_schedule_event( strtotime(‘tomorrow’), ‘daily’, ‘alter_user_role_hook’ ); } function alter_user_role_function() { global $wpdb; $today = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’,strtotime(‘today’)); … Read more
I’m then trying to figure out how to change the post status once their subscription is up function downgrade_user_role( $entry, $subscription_id, $transaction_id, $new_payment_amount ) { $user = GFUserData::get_user_by_entry_id( $entry[‘id’] ); $user->set_role( ‘subscriber’ ); global $wpdb; $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_status=”draft” WHERE post_author = %d AND post_status IN (‘publish’, ‘future’)”, $user->ID ) ); } add_action( … Read more

The 2nd solutions seems better for me. Create a database where you … Read more
Well you could do one of the following things; Create a separate page and only display the data (seems to me the best approach) Display the information on user-edit.php and create a hook telling WP that if the user role is Center and is trying to save other user information return an error. It actually … Read more
I think best hook should be ‘template_redirect’, when this hook is fired main query is already set, so you can look at queried object and if the user has no required capability you can redirect request somewhere: add_action( ‘template_redirect’, function() { if ( ( is_category( ‘special-category’ ) || is_singular() && has_category( ‘special-category’, get_queried_object() ) ) … Read more
You could try this, IF the current user is logged in AND not Adminstrator it will pull all posts from the current user, otherwise it should default and show all posts from all users. <?php function filter_posts_by_author( $query ) { if( is_user_logged_in() ) { if( !current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ) { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $query->set( ‘author’, … Read more
