There are two separate post meta values related to this behavior: _edit_lock – holds timestamp when post was last locked; _edit_last – hold ID of user who last edited post. Most likely these somehow got out of sync – lock was triggered recently, but user wasn’t properly updated. Hard to guess why from information you … Read more
I had some problems upgrading to 3.0.3 on a multi-site installation. I had used the automatic upgrade and it failed, but luckily, downloading and extracting the new files from WP.org and uploading them directly fixed it. I would try that first. If that doesn’t work, try re-uploading your backup files. You did make a backup, … Read more
You can look at the user_login column at the wp_users table. You can edit these values using any database tool (my favorite is PHPMyadmin http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php),
There’s the WP_User_Query for that: /** * List all Users * Use as: Template Tag * * @uses WP_User_Query * @return (array) List of user objects */ wpse35713_get_users_list() { $query = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ,’orderby’ => ‘login’ ) ); $users = $query->get_results(); $html = “<ul><li>”; foreach ( $users as $user ) { … Read more
The hook you choose is appropriate, and here is how to use it to delete all posts of all types (posts, pages, links, attachments, etc) of the deleted user: add_action(‘delete_user’, ‘my_delete_user’); function my_delete_user($user_id) { $args = array ( ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘author’ => $user_id ); // get all posts by this user: … Read more
Yeah, the multiple user under one account is not stock with WordPress. You would essentially have to reprogram a lot of stuff to get everything you are wanting, and hacking the core is a no-no, as all updates would just over-write it. So you wouldn’t be able to update it, or have a lot of … Read more
Attach a custom user meta field to all of them – for e.g. a checkbox. Then, in your template, simply query the user meta field and if it is checked, just output the shared user name instead of the user profile field you would use for other users. If you want to make sure that … Read more
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.
