Despite that this approach may be flawed by the fact that it can be by-passed using proxies, here is a simplistic (yet untested) approach, which you would need to improve upon but would give you the foundation for achieving your desired goal. The process as I see it: filter user registerations on the pre_user_login or … Read more
I am not sure exactly what you are asking for, but, if you want to target a specific user ID, just do something like: // set special user id $special_user_id = 5; $current_user_id = get_current_user_id(); if ( $special_user_id == $current_user_id ){ echo ‘special user is online’; } You get the idea.
This is right. You can use WordPress in exactly the same way as you were using your OLD CMS. WordPress is being used by Top newspapers / magazines and websites and they’ve editors / authors and bloggers and ofcourse they have groups & roles. CNN, Mashabale, TechCrunch, etc are all based on WordPress. There are … Read more
This way would work … the user_register action is fired when the user is stored in the data base. You can add meta data to a user with add_metadata. add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘myplugin_registration_save’, 10, 1 ); function myplugin_registration_save( $user_id ) { add_metadata( $user_id, ‘unique_number’, date( ‘Y’ ).str_pad( $user_id, 4 ) ); }
You can hide profile fields on the edit screen from everyone except site admins – therefore they can only be edited by site admins. They will still be visible on the public profile screen. You can get the field id by looking at the url in wp-admin when you edit that field, or just rolling … Read more
You are on the right track with the batch idea. You’ll need a combination of parameters in your get_users() call. A combination of the “number” and “offset” parameters should get you what you need. In the example below $count is a reference to the batch that’s currently running. <?php // inside a loop where $count … Read more
One of two functions you’ll need; update_user_meta or add_user_meta – more often than not you’ll just need the former, but it’s worth noting the difference: add_post_meta will only create an entry if the $unique parameter is false, or if there is no existing data for $meta_key. update_post_meta will add if no data exists yet, otherwise … Read more
You can use pre_get_users since WP 4.0.0 function my_user_sort( $query_args ){ if( is_admin() && !isset($_GET[‘orderby’]) ) { $query_args->query_vars[‘orderby’] = ‘ID’; } return $query_args; } add_action( ‘pre_get_users’, ‘my_user_sort’ );
wpupdateuser does not appear correct. Is it a compromise? Possibly not if you are allowing user registrations. A Google search for wpupdateuser reveals numerous sites where this username appears. Make sure WP and plugins are up to date.
I don’t see anywhere in your code that the query is being modified. Just flagging a column to be sortable doesn’t mean it knows how to sort the data – it will just add the little up/down arrow and make the column clickable but you have to intercept the query var accordingly and tell WP … Read more
