You are welcome

The customizer worked fine before,

Before what?

Perhaps before your user role got demoted or had capabilities removed?

I can’t stand that interface. I want it to go here: /wp-admin/widgets.php

+1

So I wrote the plugin and posted it here: http://wpmulti.org/admin-bar-widgets-link-no-customize/

Also another one to do the same thing with all 4 links that as of 4.2 go to the customizer instead of the “old-school” dashboard page. (themes, widgets, background, header): http://wpmulti.org/admin-bar-links-no-customize/

from the reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail

<?php wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers, $attachments ); ?>

It means to send email, you must have an email address, a subject line and a message. The header and attachment are optional.

You are editing a user on that page already so the user’s email address is known programatically.

Where is the subject line and the message you intend to send? Let me guess, you want to fill them out in your new form right? So why don’t you just add two new custom user-meta fields at the bottom of the form using the edit_user_profile hook and the reference instructions above? If so, at this point you would have a place to fill in the subject and message.

Then you could use the wp_mail function and hook it to profile_update …
(Runs when a user’s profile is updated. Action function argument: user ID.) The email would get sent when you save the user profile!

Do you see what’s happening? I think you need two functions and two hooks. The first pair to create the new form fields, the second pair to send the email.

Sorry, doesn’t really make much sense to me overall.

Maybe tell us more about the email content and who it goes to and when and why?

And why does its form have to be on the same page and inside the form already there which accomplishes readily its very specific purpose?

You are welcome

Is this maybe left over from the same topic you posted 5 months ago?

What is This “Join Our UserBase” Window That Won’t Stop Popping Up?

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-this-join-our-userbase-window-that-wont-stop-popping-up?replies=10

Isn’t the whole page already one form? Are you sure you want to insert a second form within the form? Maybe you just want some additional fields within the existing form?? If so do they have to be at the top? Or would it be OK if they were at the bottom?

Sorry for all the questions. If that all makes sense, I think you were on the right track with edit_user_profile

http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/edit_user_profile
Example:

/**
 * Show custom user profile fields
 * @param  obj $user The user object.
 * @return void
 */
function numediaweb_custom_user_profile_fields($user) {
?>
<table class="form-table">
<tr>
	<th>
		<label for="tc_location"><?php _e('Location'); ?></label>
	</th>
	<td>
		<input type="text" name="tc_location" id="tc_location" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( 'tc_location', $user->ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		<br><span class="description"><?php _e('Your location.', 'travelcat'); ?></span>
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<th>
		<label for="tc_favorites"><?php _e('Favorites', 'travelcat'); ?></label>
	</th>
	<td>
		<input type="text" name="tc_favorites" id="tc_favorites" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( 'tc_favorites', $user->ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		<br><span class="description"><?php _e('Can you share a few of your favorite places to be or to stay?', 'travelcat'); ?></span>
		<br><span class="description"><?php _e('Separate by commas.', 'travelcat'); ?></span>
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<th>
		<label for="tc_travel_map"><?php _e('Travel map', 'travelcat'); ?></label>
	</th>
	<td>
		<input type="text" name="tc_travel_map" id="tc_travel_map" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( 'tc_travel_map', $user->ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		<br><span class="description"><?php _e('Been there / Going there within a year / Wish list.', 'travelcat'); ?></span>
		<br><span class="description"><?php _e('Separate by commas.', 'travelcat'); ?></span>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
add_action('show_user_profile', 'numediaweb_custom_user_profile_fields');
add_action('edit_user_profile', 'numediaweb_custom_user_profile_fields');

For the search not to show excerpt, Have you tried it like this?

<?php if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) :// Only display Excerpts for Home, and Archives ?>
		<div class="entry-summary">
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
			<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" >Read More &rarr;</a>
		</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

It still depends on what comes aftermard in the rest of the file, it will only show the full post if afterward is the_content();

This is the code to display the featured image:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
	<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
	</a>
<?php endif; ?>

So put it all together it’s like this:

<?php if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) :// Only display Excerpts for Home, and Archives ?>
		<div class="entry-summary">

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
	<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
	</a>
<?php endif; ?>

			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
			<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" >Read More &rarr;</a>
		</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

One other thing, the read more tag might prevent the above code from working right.
