There are various ways to do this, but I’ve recently addressed a similar problem by using cookies. add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse_93797_cookie’ ); function wpse_93797_cookie() { if ( !isset ( $_COOKIE[‘wpse_93797_cookie_name’] ) ) { // Do your stuff. // Set your cookie so we don’t do stuff the next time around. // Note that 0 makes the … Read more
I wasn’t sure if you meant users or commentators, so I took both. SQL The email is saved in $wpdb->comments in the column comment_author_email for comments. It is saved in $wpdb->users in the column user_email for users. To get the domain part from the email in comments, we can use: SELECT ( SUBSTR( `comment_author_email`, INSTR( … Read more
Is there a way to let the users edit their usernames? no. I think you summarized nicely why this should not be easily possible, since a change of user name will change the URLs of pages in the site something that only an admin should be able to do. Of course you can write a … Read more
You can use the hook user_register to modify user data upon registration. You can use the function add_user_meta to add custom data to a user. Example: add_action(‘user_register’, ‘add_pin_number’, 10, 1); function add_pin_number($user_id) { add_user_meta( $user_id, ‘pin_number’, $random_number , true ); } You can look for php function out there to help you creating the random … Read more
Before you begin, you should know that sending mass emails is a delicate subject matter, and your hosting provider or mail provider has certain guidelines about this. Some hosting providers, such as Dreamhost, provide “Announcement Lists”, which act as a platform for writing newsletters (or essentially emailing a large group of subscribers). Sending unsolicited email … Read more
Here are few ideas how to deal with the neutralization of the Send Password part on the /wp-admin/user-new.php page: Idea 1: We can overwrite the wp_new_user_notification() function, because it’s pluggable: Try for example: if ( ! function_exists( ‘wp_new_user_notification’ ) ): function wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $plaintext_pass=””) { $user = get_userdata( $user_id ); // The blogname option is escaped … Read more
You can use edit_user_profile_update hook. This action hook is generally used to save custom fields that have been added to the WordPress profile page. add_action( ‘edit_user_profile_update’, ‘update_extra_profile_fields’ ); function update_extra_profile_fields( $user_id ) { if ( current_user_can( ‘edit_user’, $user_id ) ) { update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘my_custom_field’, $_POST[‘your_field’] ); } } With update_user_meta you can check the response … Read more
I’m assuming you already know how to get your popup video working, and you want to know how to make sure only people who aren’t logged in see the video. You can add this to your template file (footer.php is probably best): <?php if (is_front_page() && !is_user_logged_in()) { //video popup content } ?> WP: is_user_logged_in() … Read more
You can override the default query arguments using users_list_table_query_args: function wpse_214577_users_list_table_query_args( $args ) { if ( empty( $args[‘orderby’] ) ) $args[‘orderby’] = ‘ID’; if ( empty( $args[‘order’] ) ) $args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’; return $args; } add_filter( ‘users_list_table_query_args’, ‘wpse_214577_users_list_table_query_args’ );
After a whole day of digging and debugging through the super duper WordPress core functions, I realized the primary issue was that the session token used to create versus to verify the nonces were not equivalent. I tried different things, ending up calling the wp_set_auth_cookie method specifying the ‘logged_in’ cookie target. Then, I fell on … Read more
