After a whole day of digging and debugging through the super duper WordPress core functions, I realized the primary issue was that the session token used to create versus to verify the nonces were not equivalent. I tried different things, ending up calling the wp_set_auth_cookie method specifying the ‘logged_in’ cookie target. Then, I fell on … Read more
Try get_the_author_meta() instead of the_author_meta(). the_author_meta() echos the output, which you don’t want to do in this case.
All the metadata should be there, you can access them with magic methods. If you have a metadatum called with the key shoes, you can access it like this $userObject->shoes
Logic #1 is checking the returned value of the preg_match function with respect to 0 and with operator ===. That means the returned value of the preg_match function has to be (int) 0 or (string) 0. And after that it is checking if $_REQUEST[‘author’] is empty or not. And in Logic #2 is checking the … Read more
You can use the below function to copy all the users to all the subsite. It’s actually getting all the user IDs and subsites IDs first, then it’s looping over every sites and users to assign all the users to every subsite.

Steps: Run query Store result data in the class property Add get_user_metadata filter Start foreach loop on results Trigger new WP_User( $result_value ) for each result Within the filter function, validate meta key on $wpdb->get_blog_prefix() . ‘capabilities’. … Read more
I tracked the issue down to a plugin, “Relevanssi Premium Search Options”, that the client was using on their site and buried in the options was a setting for including users in the search.
We can use the get_avatar_url filter to modify the avatar’s url. If all the relevant get_avatar() calls, have user id as an input argument, then it’s easy to get the corresponding user’s meta value, with get_user_meta(), within the filter’s callback. Otherwise we need to handle all possible input cases, for get_avatar( $some_input ), as it … Read more
WP is not likely going to add this feature… From https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14644, the main reason given by Nacin is: This is a caching issue. Additionally, it also breaks URLs and such, which is why I don’t think administrators should be able to do it either. Seems simple enough to relegate to a plugin, or a straight … Read more
