 * wp_dropdown_users( $args ); has changed with the most recent update to wordpress
   3.3.1. It used to give the value of whatever you chose to display.
 * wp_dropdown_users(array(‘name’ => ‘users1’)); ?> used to create a drop down called
   users1 of all users with their display_name and used that as the value in the
   drop down. With the current update the value has changed the the user_ID. I did
   not see any way to update the value option of the drop down function.
 * My solution was to pass the ID and use it through [get_userdata( $userid ); ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata)
   but i thought there should be an update/patch-note made to [wp_dropdown_users( $args );](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_users)
 * OLD CODE PRE UPDATE
    <select class=”” id=”user1″ name=”user1″> <option value=”
   Amy”>Amy</option> <option value=”Andie”>Andie</option> <option value=”Danielle”
   >Danielle</option> </select>
 * New Code
    <select class=”” id=”user1″ name=”user1″> <option value=”24″>Amy</option
   > <option value=”32″>Andie</option> <option value=”68″>Danielle</option> </select
   >
