# get_users(); returning wrong users

 * I have this call:
    get_users(‘meta_key=main_feature&value=yes’);
 * but the query is also returning users with the meta key ‘featured’ set to yes
   as well. I have a plugin that allows me to check all the user meta and have confirmed
   that the meta key for users that shouldn’t be showing up is empty.
 * Is there something I’m doing wrong here?

 * Hi miggle,
 * I think one of the parameter’s name is wrong.
    Could you try this? get_users(‘
   meta_key=main_feature&meta_value=yes’);
