New users not showing up in Post -> Edit
s_ha_dum’s answer prompted me to look into this a little further. I checked the users in the database. It turns out that the dropdown list in Posts -> Edit is using the Display Name, not the User Login, as I had expected. So, the problem was not that WordPress was functioning incorrectly, but that my … Read more
Max no of simultaneous active sessions for a single user
No, there isn’t. WordPress login “sessions” are cookie-based and work on each device as if they were the only one in existence.
Are User Levels Still Currently Used?
Many plugins (and themes) use user levels, you shouldn’t use them in yours. They are still used in WordPress probably to offer backward compatibility with the huge number of plugins and themes that use them. WPCS will throw a warning whenever it busts user levels in code.
Can user login details be used for other applications?
In a nutshell, if a client (in the technical sense) has valid username and password then it can provide it to the WP installation to be checked and be placed in a “privileged” context for all the code to run.

Exclude admin from user list
You could use user_can( $user_id, ‘manage_options’ ) to gauge the ids in the users array and unset($users->[$x]) the appropriate row. I would personally use $users = array(); foreach ($results as $user) if (!user_can( $user->ID, ‘manage_options’ )) $users[] = $user; But that’s just me.

Use wp_update_user to update custom column in wp_users table
It is not a good practice to add/remove columns to/from the core tables in WordPress. There is no guarantee that the very next update doesn’t change this table’s behavior, or even overwrite your column. Your best approach is to use metadata as you mentioned. But, if you need to do this for some reason, you … Read more
How to change textarea rows height for user’s biographical Info?
Unfortunately there is no hook available to modify the HTML for the description field on the edit user page. The output is hard-coded. One workaround is to use CSS to set a minimum height for the text area. I think this is the best approach. add_action( ‘admin_print_styles-profile.php’, ‘wpse_user_description_css’ ); add_action( ‘admin_print_styles-user-edit.php’, ‘wpse_user_description_css’ ); function wpse_user_description_css() … Read more
