hey cassiedong – very clever and makes sense (recycling former user_row function … i’ve already re-code the church site so i’m gonna move forward without this multi account feature but wanted to test your work around as proof of concept … it did work in part in that the admin screen no longer showed errors and listed “E-Mail Addresses with Multiple User Accounts” but then when i tried to add emails to an account, i got the error – “Sorry, that email address is already used!” – regardless of whether checkbox was checked for “Allow multiple accounts for everyone?” was on or off and if multi-account emails were listed in the text area …
i find it a bit odd that WordPress seems to pride itself on “backward compatibility” but not so in this case … i’m also uncertain why they cancelled the user_row function so will trust in process that they made decision for some valid reason but ..??..
ditto with regards to plugin author … if it ever gets fixed, then i might come back to this but as it is, my current experiences are inspiring me to create my own functions routines but i digress :>0 cheers – chuck scott
@cassiedong … muchas gracias for post with link … that certainly explains things (function being removed that is) … i will let the plugin author know as perhaps that might help others …
in the meantime, i spent day plus recoding the church site so i’m back to one email per member and will leave it at that :>0 …
oh, the joys of open source … when it works it’s awesome and when it goes south, well then …
reminds me conversation i had with engineering friend years back who said, “Chuck – you know they never should have called this stuff software. Everybody thinks that just because it is seemingly soft that it easily changed. Humbug. They should have called it, Concrete-ware. In that once you get it stable, leave it the f* alone. Lord knows, as soon as you go back and touch one line or one variable or one database field and change it, somewhere, something else is gonna break and needs to be debugged. Bla bla bla…”
Truly i jest although it was a real conversation with a real engineer, one with very high security clearance but i digress …
Viva the stable code and the open source communities that promote open solutions and open awareness that work to advance the highest goods for all :>)
cheers – chuck scott
