Not allowed by design: If we try to change the user login by the email: wp user update [email protected] –user_login=mary_new or by the user id: wp user update 123 –user_login=mary_new we get the following warning: User logins can’t be changed. This is the reason: if ( isset( $assoc_args[‘user_login’] ) ) { WP_CLI::warning( “User logins can’t … Read more
Your query is wrong because your third argument to TIMESTAMPDIFF is incorrect. You should be using meta_value instead of SELECT meta_value. SELECT user_id FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = ‘wp_wp_kc_last_active_time’ AND TIMESTAMPDIFF( second, now(), TIMESTAMP(meta_value) ) > 5184000; Try that and see if the results start looking correct. I just checked over the mySQL Date Function … Read more
This isn’t really a WordPress question – but you can add a rewrite rule to prevent access unless the referrer is your own domain. [Update] You’ll need to do 2 things Add a rewrite rule (either directly with .htaccess or by using WP_rewrite (Codex reference). The aim here is to deny requests to your documents … Read more
The difference is really no difference in regular (single install) WordPress. It’s in a multisite install (network) where there is a difference. In multisite, only a Super Admin (who can manage everything on the network) has delete_users capability, while an “admin” (who would own/manage a single site) can remove_users from their site, but cannot delete … Read more
There is a better way to do this as of WordPress version 3.7. Use the WordPress property meta_key to select the last name property and then orderby => meta_value with an ascending order. <?php $args = array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘last_name’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ); $user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args ); if ( … Read more
User-edit role setting distinct from wp_capabilities? [closed]
Generally speaking I agree with most of the other answers but, if for some reason you really had to merge two accounts here is how that could work. Merging User-B into User-A Reassign all of User-B’s content to User-A Determine the highest privilege of User-B If higher than the privileges of User-A elevate User-A’s privileges … Read more
The lack of mutiple roles has irritated me for a long time since the underlying WP_User class supports multiple roles. I have even considered looking for an alternative software solution. @lpryor – after reading your post, I was re-motivated to implement it myself. It took a surprisingly short number of lines to do although I … Read more
How about hooking ‘clear_auth_cookie’ with the cleaning you need to do? If you need even more depth, you can outright replace wp_clear_auth_cookie(), but that can get into issues where it will conflict with other plugins, so avoid that if possible.
Going by wp_get_current_user() information in the Codex, the function utilizes the global $current_user object and if necessary initializes it before use. As others have stated, get_current_user_id() uses this function on the backend. Consider /wp-includes/user.php, lines 323-327 (the function definition for this code). At the tail end, the return value is return ( isset( $user->ID ) … Read more
