It returns a user object, and the property you’ll want to use in your setting is user_nicename — think of it like the user slug. <?php add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘wpse27690_register_setting’ ); function wpse27690_register_setting() { $user = … Read more

The URL is okay, what you need to add are cookies that authenticate you as the user who is allowed to see the preview. That is basically sending headers. I would start with the HTTP API (WordPress Codex) looking for a method to add additional HTTP headers and set your cookies. Otherwise – because probably … Read more
