They are related but different.

CALENDARURL.ics?category=bananas will only work IF the application CALENDARURL supports that kind of event selection as per the specification https://icalendar.org/iCalendar-RFC-5545/3-8-1-2-categories.html.

Some applications just don’t offer CATEGORIES.

https://MYPAGEURL?category=bananas where https://MYPAGEURL is a wordpress website running amr-events plugin and has events created as custom post types should work to serve up just those custom post type events with that category, similar to this where taxonomy sport is used https://test.icalevents.com/agenda/html5-agenda/?sport=random. However it won’t work to filter categories from the ics feed, only for events created in wordpress (it uses the wp query). See https://icalevents.com/5261-categories-from-ics-files/

yes, its a very basic plugin

You might find it helpful to look at the various settings pages and play around with them. You’d notice tools to add new list or copy existing and then configure any list. Browsing the documentation may also help https://wpusersplugin.com/support/amr-users-documentation/

NO on elementor. The plugin does however have extensive css selectors in the html and 2 types of html (table & divs) so you should be able to achieve a lot of customisation with that.

As far as customising the shortcode goes. again depends what you mean. I’m going to assume you mean ‘parameters’ See https://wpusersplugin.com/3621/parameters/
I’d suggest using the settings rather so that your changes are visible all in one place.

If you talking about updates to the extra um table that um creates, then you’d have to look into the um code and see if they offer an ‘action’ to be added when they do an update. (like the wordpress actions on user updates). Unlikely they do.

If you talking about the um data in the standard user meta table, the plugin settings will allow to request an update. Please note that this is not immediate – first it schedules a request. This is to avoid say one users updates of which many fields may be updated, triggering a flood of updates. The uypdate will happen a little later on next page refresh, like wp batch jobs do.

You may be better off choosing a schedule that suits and offering a manual refresh link on the list (see settings).

You too where ever you are! Thanks for reporting back.

Hi Peter,

The array field is also listed under “nicenames” by the plugin. As mentioned above the plugin calls it ‘roles’. It will list all the roles that a user has as found in the wp_capabilities usermeta record.

Hi Peter,

In the database it is in the usermeta table with meta_key yourprefix_capabilities. Because everyone calls it roles, this plugin calls it ‘roles’. Arguably wordpress should have called it wp_roles 😉
This plugin will also list each role separately as a field using yourprefix_capabilities-rolename eg: wp_capabilities-author

EG:

wp_capabilities 	a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster"...

SO
1) check in your …/wp-admin/admin.php?page=ameta-admin-meta-keys.php that you have NOT excluded “yourprefix_capabilities” DO exclude any unneeded meta keys to simplify the next screen. Click Update.

2) THEN go to …wp-admin/admin.php?page=ameta-admin-nice-names.php and click ‘find new fields’ then scroll down. You should find both ‘roles’ (a list of all roles assigned to each user) and ‘fields’ for each role that each existing user has.

Thanks Joy, however i imagine the same problems with parameters would arise which ever way one tried to do it. Plugins with similar features tend to work differently so writing code to generically do this would basically end up being some kind of search & replace code anyway.
