Add square brackets to input names to get PHP to interpret them as an array of data instead of overriding the value with each new input. so your input will look like this: <input type=”text” name=”skills[]” id=”skills” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( ‘skills’, $current_user->ID ) ); ?>” class=”textbox” /> <input type=”text” name=”skills_percent[]” id=”skills_percent” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( … Read more
“Users” are basically “authors” in WordPress so those pages are available at example.com/author/{user-name}/ (with or without the trailing slash) and what you are looking for is actually to change the “author permalink base” for the URL rewrite. eg: add_action( ‘init’, ‘set_custom_author_base’ ); function set_custom_author_base() { global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->author_base=”user”; } You can then add (or modify) … Read more
fine-grained capabilities for user related capabilities
Eventually came to a solution in case anyone needs it: function mb_get_user_meta_values( $mb_user_meta_key ) { if( empty($mb_user_meta_key) ) return; $mb_get_users = get_users( array( ‘meta_key’ => $mb_user_meta_key ) ); $mb_user_meta_values = array(); foreach( $mb_get_users as $mb_user ) { $mb_user_meta_values[] = get_user_meta( $mb_user->ID, $mb_user_meta_key, true ); } $mb_user_meta_values = array_unique( $mb_user_meta_values ); return $mb_user_meta_values; } Then I … Read more
Usermeta key that stores the user’s role has a prefix in the name, the one set in the wp-config.php file. So meta_key will have the form {prefix}_capabilities and your query should look like global $wpdb; $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE {$wpdb->usermeta} SET meta_value=”a:1:{s:6:\”editor\”;b:1;}” WHERE user_id = %d AND meta_key = ‘{$wpdb->prefix}capabilities'”, $user_id ) ); You do not … Read more
How to prevent deleteting specific user?
Direct modification of WP database is a very bad idea. In your case, you have problem because you avoid caching. WordPress caches almost everything what is able to cache, and user data are not the exclusion. When you call username_exists(), it returns information from the cache, not from the database. You should use wp_update_user() to … Read more
Help hooking into user_register
Should be ‘meta_key’ => ‘last_name’ instead of ‘meta_key’ => ‘user_lastname’ $args = array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘pw_user_status’, ‘value’ => ‘approved’ , ), ), ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘last_name’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ); $users = get_users( $args );
As Gael mentioned, there’s not native WordPress functionality to handle this, but it’s not too difficult to achieve. update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘post_subscriber’, $user_id ); First, I would create post meta that identifies the user who should have access. You would probably want to set this up with Meta Boxes on the individual pages or using the … Read more
