Hi,
How to make function (argumen would be $userid), that would change user role only for this user.
I would like to implement that in functions.php file.
Change user role of one user in functions.php (8 posts)

Why are you doing it in the functions, and to what purpose?
-
Posted 9 months ago #I wanted that someone would get admin rights, after filling up user details in profile (name, phone number...). Before that he wouldn't have rights to add or edit pages and everything
-
That would be a big security risk, since a spammer would be able to fill in the data with junk and then have admin rights.
-
And you wouldn't want to do it in the functions.php file anyway, because that's *theme* based, when what you want is user based.

Posted 9 months ago #I know it is theme based.
How can I solve that diferently?
-
Make a plugin that, when someone logs in, checks for completion of the profile. If found, promote user levels.
And I wouldn't do it in a million years, if you paid me.

Take the code you were going to put in functions.php and put it in a separate php file with a plugin header. then activate it as a plugin.
or put it in the mu-plugins folder.
And make sure you're doing a check for a specific user.
The whole of wordpress is filled with functions. you are not require to stick them in functions.php.
