The first thing to do to implements such task is to be able to recognise which page an user can edit. There are different ways to do it. It could be a user meta, some configuration value… For the sake of this answer, I will assume that a function lile this exists: function wpse_user_can_edit( $user_id, … Read more
I was sure that wp_update_user() should do this. It even gets user_login as param, but it looks like it ignores it, when you set this param. So this code looks OK, but it doesn’t work as you wish it did 🙁 : wp_update_user( [‘ID’ => $user_id, ‘user_login’ => $new_login] ); You have to call custom … Read more
user_nicename is url sanitized version of user_login. In general, if you don’t use any special characters in your login, then your nicename will always be the same as login.

This seems to do what you need. <?php global $current_user; wp_get_current_user(); ?> <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { echo ‘Username: ‘ . $current_user->user_login . “\n”; echo ‘User display name: ‘ . $current_user->display_name . “\n”; } else { wp_loginout(); } ?>
We can hook to the admin_init action and check if the user is an administrator by using the current_user_can() function to see if the current user can manage_options, which is something only an administrator can do. This code, when pasted into your functions.php file, will display a message when a non-admin tries to access the … Read more
I would use transients to do this: create a user-online-update function that you hook on init; it would look something like this: // get the user activity the list $logged_in_users = get_transient(‘online_status’); // get current user ID $user = wp_get_current_user(); // check if the current user needs to update his online status; // he does … Read more

You need to use the ‘show_user_profile’, ‘edit_user_profile’, ‘personal_options_update’ and ‘edit_user_profile_update’ hooks. Here’s some code to add a Phone number: add_action( ‘show_user_profile’, ‘yoursite_extra_user_profile_fields’ ); add_action( ‘edit_user_profile’, ‘yoursite_extra_user_profile_fields’ ); function yoursite_extra_user_profile_fields( $user ) { ?> <h3><?php _e(“Extra profile information”, “blank”); ?></h3> <table class=”form-table”> <tr> <th><label for=”phone”><?php _e(“Phone”); ?></label></th> <td> <input type=”text” name=”phone” id=”phone” class=”regular-text” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( … Read more
