You might be looking for a logged in conditional. From the WP Codex, you might be able to try in your theme (untested): <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { get_currentuserinfo(); echo ‘Logged in as ‘ . $current_user->user_firstname; } ?> EDIT After consulting the WP Codex on the topic, I was able to display my user’s … Read more
Yes, there is a method called get_blogs_of_user($user_id); Supply the user id and echo it. http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/get_blogs_of_user
I think you are making this a lot harder than it has to be. Run your code on user_register and update_profile Check to see if the post exists, and create it if not Done. WordPress should take care of the rest. Something like: function register_user_pupil($user_id) { $current_user = new WP_User($user_id); $post_args = array( ‘post_title’ => … Read more
To get the permalink of a users most recent post (of custom post type) perform the following query: $latest = get_posts(array( ‘author’ => $current_user->ID, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘post_type’ => ‘my_custom_post_type’, ‘order’ => ‘desc’, ‘numberposts’ => 1, )); if( $latest ) { $url = get_permalink($latest[0]->ID); } else { // No posts } For the redirect part … Read more
You will need to do a JOIN on the users table in your old database, and also select the display name. One key thing to note here, is that I aliased dbold_posts as P, and dbold_users as U – when dealing with multiple table, it’s always best practice to specify which table you are referring … Read more
The way you suggest doing this, it won’t ever be secure. If I understand you, just disabling Javascript would spoil the security. What you’d need to do is run a script that uses an AJAX request to query for and then add data to the page, but only if the user is logged in. That … Read more
The Core function for checking whether a user is logged in is is_user_logged_in(). You should use that if at all possible. WordPress does not use sessions at all, by default, and never has so far as I can remember. When I try var_dump($_SESSION); I get an “Undefined variable” Notice exactly as I expected. I haven’t … Read more
Multisite would be the easiest way to achieve this – assuming both sites are WordPress. There are other ways to achieve the same but they are more complicated. You’ll find the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
I would set up an array with the variables you want in the url query string and then use http_build_query(). Like so: $args = array( ‘AT’ => ‘EN’, ‘AE’ => $current_user->user_email, ‘FN’ => $current_user->user_firstname, ‘LN’ => $current_user->user_lastname, ‘MK’ => 665080128, ‘PW’ => ‘miami’, ‘BU’ => ‘http://thinkmcat.com/’); ?> <a href=”https://thinkmcat.webex.com/thinkmcat/m.php?<?php echo http_build_query($args); ?>”>LINK</a>
Yes, you can edit this without anything breaking. There is nowhere in the dashboard to edit your username later so for many users who don’t know or don’t have access to the database this wont be possible for them, hence the warning when installing WordPress. For those comfortable working in MySQL, it will be under … Read more
