I create a search form with auto-completion. Now my search works by first and last name. But not by mail. What's wrong?
$args = array (
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'search' => '*' . esc_attr( $search_term ) . '*',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'first_name',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'last_name',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'user_email',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// Create the WP_User_Query object
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );
User e-mail is not meta, so you can't use meta_query. You can use separeted array key search_columns. If you want results, where $search_term contains only one of the options for first_name, last_name or user_email, I found a functional way when I merge two queries (query for search by user_email and your original adapted query). This works for me:
$args1 = array (
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'search' => '*' . esc_attr( $search_term ) . '*',
'search_columns' => array( 'user_email' )
);
$args2 = array (
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'first_name',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'last_name',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
$query1 = new WP_User_Query( $args1 );
$query2 = new WP_User_Query( $args2 );
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query();
$wp_user_query->results = array_merge( $query1->results,$query2->results );
Try this approach
$args = array(
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'search' => '*' . esc_attr( $search_term ) . '*',
'search_columns' => array( 'first_name', 'last_name', 'user_email' )
);
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );
More info about WP_User_Query class here https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query
EDIT:
Available search fields
'ID' - Search by user id.
'user_login' - Search by user login.
'user_nicename' - Search by user nicename.
'user_email' - Search by user email.
'user_url' - Search by user url.

UPDATE: I mean to search user in the Admin User Dashboard at /wp-admin/users.php
Is there a way to search users using 'first_name' and 'last_name'?
I found this plugin but not working at all: https://wordpress.org/plugins/full-name-search-in-wp-admin/
I also found this function, but neither is working in my site. Do I need to call the function with a hook/action?:
function search_users($search_term){
global $wpdb;
$the_users = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT $wpdb->users.* FROM $wpdb->users INNER JOIN $wpdb->usermeta um1 ON um1.user_id = $wpdb->users.ID JOIN $wpdb->usermeta um2 ON um2.user_id = $wpdb->users.ID WHERE (um1.meta_key = 'uRPhICRS_capabilities' AND um1.meta_value LIKE '%agent%') AND ((um2.meta_key = 'first_name' OR um2.meta_key = 'last_name') AND um2.meta_value LIKE '%".$search_term."%');");
if(!empty($the_users)){
return $the_users;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
Two Ways as follow:
1) If You want to check from the string match in either firstname or lastname, following will be work:
$users_query = new WP_User_Query(
array(
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'first_name',
'value' => $str,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'last_name',
'value' => $str,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
)
);
$users = $users_query->get_results();
2) If you want to check the user from username, user_nicename, user_email, firstname, or lastname use following code:
//search from the user table
$users_query_table = new WP_User_Query(
array(
'search' => "*{$str}*",
'search_columns' => array(
'user_login',
'user_nicename',
'user_email',
),
) );
$users_via_table = $users_query_table->get_results();
//search from the usermeta
$users_query_meta = new WP_User_Query(
array(
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'first_name',
'value' => $str,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'last_name',
'value' => $str,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
)
);
$users_via_meta = $users_query_meta->get_results();
// Merge both result..
$combined_users = array_merge( $users_via_table, $users_via_meta );
// Get unique user
$users = array_unique( $combined_users, SORT_REGULAR );
You can use WP_User_Query.
Example:
// The search term
$search_term = 'Ross';
// WP_User_Query arguments
$args = array (
'role' => 'reporter',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'search' => '*'.esc_attr( $search_term ).'*',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'first_name',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'last_name',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'description',
'value' => $search_term ,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// Create the WP_User_Query object
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query($args);

I need help with a WP_Query. I use the meta query argument using the OR and AND relations, but this argument seems to be ignored in the result of the query.
Here is my code :
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'my_custome_post_type',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array( 'author' => $contact_id ),
array( 'meta_key' => 'my_meta', 'meta_value' => $user_id )
),
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array( 'author' => $user_id ),
array( 'meta_key' => 'my_meta', 'meta_value' => $contact_id )
)
)
);
$query = new \WP_Query( $args );
$response = $query->posts;
I already tried to add this argument like suggested in here:
'suppress_filters' => false,
'is_your_custom_query' => true, // your custom flag
Even if I remplace the value of $user_id and $contact_id directly in the query with any number, the query still return the same result. I don't understand why it's not working.
Thank you for your help !
As suggested by dafoxuk, I have to remplace meta_key by key and meta_value by value. I also had to add 'compare' => 'LIKE'.
But event in this case it wasn't working. I also had to stock the author_id in a post_meta, and change the array( 'author'=> $contact_id ) condition by :
array( 'key ' => 'meta_author_id', 'value' => $user_id, 'compare' => 'LIKE' )
So the final $args array look like this :
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'my_custome_post_type',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array( 'key ' => 'meta_author_id', 'value' => $user_id, 'compare' => 'LIKE' )
array( 'key ' => 'my_meta', 'value' => $user_id, 'compare' => 'LIKE '
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array( 'key ' => 'meta_author_id', 'value' => $user_id, 'compare' => 'LIKE' )
array( 'key ' => 'my_meta', 'value' => $contact_id, 'compare' => 'LIKE' )
)
);
I want to order my list with wp_query. I have posts with meta_key 'featured_post' and three values for that key for different posts it is: '1', '2', and thrird key not exist.
I am using now this wp_query structure:
global $paged, $wp_query, $wp;
$args = wp_parse_args($wp->matched_query);
if ( !empty ( $args['paged'] ) && 0 == $paged ) {
$wp_query->set('paged', $args['paged']);
$paged = $args['paged'];
}
$temp = $wp_query;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 20,
'paged' => $paged,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
'featured_clause_first' => array(
'key' => 'featured_post',
'value' => '1',
'compare' => '='
),
'featured_clause_second' => array(
'key' => 'featured_post',
'value' => '2',
'compare' => '='
),
'featured_clause_third' => array(
'key' => 'featured_post',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
'value' => '1'
)
),
'orderby' => array(
'featured_clause_first' => 'DESC',
'featured_clause_second' => 'DESC',
'featured_clause_third' => 'DESC'
),
);
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
get_template_part( 'templates/single');
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
wp_reset_query();
But I am got wrong order. Finally I need to see posts with value '1' at the top and other posts with values '2' and not exist key after.
Note: I can't use "'meta_key' => 'featured_post'," because in this way posts without existing meta_key not displayed.
Ok. I was edited save metabox functions for delete metakey if featured not checked. So that I have only two values: 1 & key not exist. After that I got needed order with this meta args:
$sort_meta_query = array(
'relation' => 'OR',
'featured_clause' => array(
'key' => 'featured_post',
'value' => '1',
'compare' => '='
),
array(
'key' => 'featured_post',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
'value' => '1'
)
);
$sort = array(
'orderby' => array(
'featured_clause' => 'DESC',
'date' => 'DESC'
)
);
I am trying to get users list sort by metakey. I mean i have set meta key user_last_login. some users doesnot have this meta key. some users have it.
I want to get both users in single query but if metakey exists those will come first and remaining should come last.
Here is my query
$meta_query_args = array(
'relation' => 'OR', // Optional, defaults to "AND"
array(
'key' => 'user_last_login',
'compare' => 'Not Exists'
),
array(
'key' => 'user_last_login',
'compare' => 'Exists'
)
);
$meta_query = new WP_Meta_Query( $meta_query_args );
$args = array(
'offset' => $paged ? ($paged - 1) * $number : 0,
'number' => $number,
'fields' => 'all',
'orderby'=>'user_last_login',
'exclude' => array(get_current_user_id()),
'meta_query' =>$meta_query
);
$users = get_users( $args );
Please help.
A meta_key argument is required when you wan to order by meta_value. Here is the modified code,
$query_args = array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'user_last_login',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
),
array(
'key' => 'user_last_login',
'compare' => 'EXISTS'
)
);
$meta_query = new WP_Meta_Query($query_args);
$args = array(
'offset' => $paged ? ($paged - 1) * $number : 0,
'number' => $number,
'fields' => 'all',
'meta_key' => 'user_last_login',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC',
'exclude' => array(get_current_user_id()),
'meta_query' => $meta_query
);
$users = get_users( $args );
Hope this one helps.
This is my code but didnt get desired result.I just want to search out the specific user by its first_name and its role is it_guy. Anyone please help.
$users = new WP_User_Query(
array(
'role' => 'it_guy',
'meta_key' => 'first_name',
'search' => '*'.esc_attr( $your_search_string ).'*',
'orderby' => 'first_name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'offset' => '',
'number' => '',
));
foreach($users as $user)
{
<?php echo $user->first_name; ?>
}
You should try this,
$users = new WP_User_Query(
array(
'role' => 'it_guy',
'meta_key' => 'first_name',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC',
'offset' => '',
'number' => '',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'first_name',
'value' => esc_attr( $your_search_string ),
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
)
);
