This doesn’t seem to work for the German version of 3.4.2 * This is a real learning exercise for me. I’ll pass on what I _think_ I’ve learned so far. - The ‘English’ Version of WordPress is different from the ‘German’ version. I was expecting the only real difference to be in the language, not the code - pluggable.php is different - user.php is different - wp_get_current_user() returns different data. The ‘German’ version returns - ``` WP_User Object ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [ID] => 1 ======= [display_name] => John ) ``` - The ‘English’ version returns the same plus - ``` [first_name] => Ken [last_name] => Brewer etc. ``` - And the results for get_userdata($userid). The German version returns - ``` WP_User Object ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [ID] => 1 ======= [display_name] => admin ) ``` - The ‘English’ version returns the same plus - ``` [first_name] => Ken [last_name] => Brewer etc. ``` * So now my questions are? 1. Why is the German code so different? 2. How do we get the German code to return * - user_firstname - user_lastname - nickname - user_email - user_url - user_description - user_pass? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Difference between English and German Versions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/difference-between-english-and-german-versions/) * Thread Starter [KHBrewer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khbrewer/) * (@khbrewer) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/difference-between-english-and-german-versions/#post-3135266) * No update on the German Forum. * I have installed PHP Execution Plugin on both the English and German instances. On both I created a page entitled ‘PHP and inserted the following code * _[ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.

In fact I get 15 more ‘English’ fields than‘ German’ ones. What I am finding difficult is – I have the same database and tables, I have common PHP code, both instances are running on my localhost The only difference seems to be the fields returned by wp_get_current_user() and get_userdata( $user_id) Is it possible that the ‘German’ version is really so different from the ‘English’ version. * Would a developer care to comment, please? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [New Subversion User](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-subversion-user/) * Thread Starter [KHBrewer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khbrewer/) * (@khbrewer) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-subversion-user/#post-2386584) * Twigged it! * You have to get the readme.txt right or the plugin doesn’t get published. * Just updated my readme.txt and now the plugin is available. * Regards Ken Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
