The lack of mutiple roles has irritated me for a long time since the underlying WP_User class supports multiple roles. I have even considered looking for an alternative software solution. @lpryor – after reading your post, I was re-motivated to implement it myself. It took a surprisingly short number of lines to do although I … Read more
How about hooking ‘clear_auth_cookie’ with the cleaning you need to do? If you need even more depth, you can outright replace wp_clear_auth_cookie(), but that can get into issues where it will conflict with other plugins, so avoid that if possible.
Hi @Towfiq: Comments are related in the database to Posts. You’ll have to do a lot of work to get Comments to relate to Users. Have you considered creating a Custom Post Type for Users and then use either a user_meta field to store the post_id, or a postmeta field to store the user_id, or … Read more
If you have a large number of users to delete, you might consder using the wp user delete wp-cli command to avoid script timeouts. Here’s an example of a SQL query to delete all users without posts of any type and status. You can therefore try this untested one-liner: wp user delete $(wp db query … Read more
A base WordPress installation probably won’t do what you want it to. You could set up a multi-site instance and allow users to have their own ‘sub’ site, or use something like BuddyPress or Mingle that has a user profile feature.
Going by wp_get_current_user() information in the Codex, the function utilizes the global $current_user object and if necessary initializes it before use.

At the tail end, the return value is return ( isset( $user->ID ) … Read more
Ok, first of all, I feel like an idiot, although in my defense most of the articles that talk about this don’t mention a very crucial detail in making this work. The answer is that you need to set permission for at least one admin in the database. This info can be found in the … Read more
Yes, this is a good question and the answer is basic WordPress 101 (core), contrary to the two comments above. No plugin necessary. You simply go to Users and delete the author (user) that you don’t want to keep. WordPress then asks you if you want to delete their content or attribute it to another … Read more
Like SickHippie posted this functionality is native to WordPress but only for a multisite setup so here is the two functions you need to get this to work on a single site setup which are mostly code one for one from the core /wp-admin/user-edit.php file function custom_send_confirmation_on_profile_email() { global $errors, $wpdb; $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); if … Read more
I got this almost working, but refinements are needed to fit the specifics of the question and to deal with Attachments and Post-Types differently (see comments in code)… First, I think it’s worth noting how I found the filter: apply_filters( ‘views_’ . $screen->id, $views ) inspect element do a global search in /wp-admin and /wp-includes … Read more
