I am trying to get all the user details from wordpress 4.7 through the rest api - wp-json/wp/v2/users.
Currently I am seeing a lot of fields for the user object (close to 100 fields, amr user plugin installed) in the wordpress site, but the api is returning very few fields.
How can I get all the fields of user object in the rest api, should I install any other plugin for the same?
You are only receiving the user fields which are stored in the wp_users table, but not the fields which are stored in the wp_usermeta table.
In order to get all information about a user, you have to get the user meta fields of this user from the REST API.
How to get user meta fields from the REST API:
Look into register_rest_field() to register meta with the rest api.
add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'adding_user_meta_rest' );
function adding_user_meta_rest() {
register_rest_field( 'user',
'collapsed_widgets',
array(
'get_callback' => 'user_meta_callback',
'update_callback' => null,
'schema' => null,
)
);
}
And then put your get_user_meta bit in the callback.
function user_meta_callback( $user, $field_name, $request) {
return get_user_meta( $user[ 'id' ], $field_name, true );
}
The WP_REST_Meta_Fields class may provide more useful insight as well.
The later part of this answer I have found in this answer on WordPress Stackexchange: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/270154/getting-user-meta-data-from-wp-rest-api

I have created a custom user role for new users in functions.php like below codes:
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_custom_roles' );
function add_custom_roles() {
$student = add_role( 'student', 'Student', array(
'read' => false,
'assignments' => true,
));
if( null !== $student ) {
$role->add_cap( 'assignments', true);
}
}
Want to allow access student roles only to view my custom plugin page: assignments but it is not working. Custom plugin is created by add_menu_page hook.
You are getting close to your goal, to help yourself you could install this (https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/members/) which make capabilities handling easier, and then tweak the settings in order to obtain the menù visibility you want.
You should "clone" the minimum WP user role required to enter the backend (should be contributor if i remember good) and then add your custom permission to access plugin page
How can this situation be done?
Wordpress install at ABC.com.
Wordpress install at 123.com.
A new member signs up at abc.com, then instantly and automatically, the same user's email address and password be programmatically inserted into 123.com. After the abc.com sign up process is completed, the new user is redirected to log in at 123.com.
How to achieve that?
you can achieve your functionality using two tricks, firstly you have to connect your wordpress with second DB.
global $wpdb;
$newdb = new wpdb( 'USERNAME' , 'PASSWORD' , 'DATABASE NAME' , 'HOST' );
$newdb->show_errors();
Then you can use the user_register hook to get all data from user upon registration AND update them to new database as a user.
add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_registration_save', 10, 1 );
function myplugin_registration_save( $user_id ) {
//print_r($_POST); // to get all information of user
// Insert data in other database
$newdb->insert('wp_users', array(
'display_name' => $_POST['first_name'],
'user_email' => $_POST['user_email'],
'user_phone' => $_POST['user_phone'], // ... and so on
));
}
Haven't tried this code but it will work.
I have created a custom WooCommerce API endpoint (in a custom WP plugin) for that creates a new order in WooCommerce. I usually use HTTPS and basic auth with consumer key and consumer secret.
This customer API was designed to be accessed by another platform that does not have the ability to enter consumer key and secret in request header. So I would like to disable WooCommerce authentication for this plugin only. I will be authenticating using a field in the original request by comparing a key.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I found the solution:
// To disable authentication, hook into this filter at a later priority and return a valid WP_User
add_filter( 'woocommerce_api_check_authentication', array( $this, 'authenticate' ), 0 );
Comment below lines in file woocommerce/includes/class-wc-rest-authentication.php
if ( !hash_equals( $signature, $consumer_signature ) ) { #codingStandardsIgnoreLine
return new WP_Error( 'woocommerce_rest_authentication_error', __( 'Invalid signature - provided signature does not matchh.', 'woocommerce' ), array( 'status' => 401 ) );
}
If you want to disable authentication for v3, then disable line 152, 153 in plugins/woocommerce/incoudes/api/legacy/v3/class-wc-api-authentication.php
//$this->check_oauth_signature( $keys, $params );
//$this->check_oauth_timestamp_and_nonce( $keys, $params['oauth_timestamp'], $params['oauth_nonce'] );
I've created a WordPress page with a Ninja form on it that collects miscellaneous data about a product, including some uploaded images. The page with the form is accessible from the main menu by clicking the "Input" item, so the user doesn't need to access the backend to upload their product data.
I now want to put this data into a custom post type called "Listing." There will eventually be thousands of these data sets and so thousands of "Listing" pages, as people come to the site, click Input in the main menu to get to the page with the Ninja form and fill it out.
Could someone tell me how they would go about now building these listing pages from the data the form has collected?
I'm running Ninja's Front-End Post option which supposedly will create a page from the form data. This plugin has some Post creation settings where you can select the post type to create, but this isn't working for me. I would expect the submitted form data to show up under dashboard | Listings, but there's nothing there after submitting the form.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks for your help.
I think you can use only Ninja Forms without extensions, and hook directly in 'ninja_forms_after_submission' that fires after submission and allow you to use data submitted and perform actions.
This is a starter codebase to achieve your result, but needs to be customized on your needs and your form structure.
add_action( 'ninja_forms_after_submission', 'create_page_from_ninjaform' );
function create_page_from_ninjaform( $form_data ){
// your fields data
$form_fields = $form_data[ 'fields' ];
// !!! this is an example, it depends form fields in your form
$title = $form_fields[ 1 ][ 'value' ];
$content = $form_fields[ 2 ][ 'value' ];
$sample_meta_field = $form_fields[ 3 ][ 'value' ];
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'listing', // be sure this is the post type name
);
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $new_post );
update_post_meta( $new_post_id, 'your_meta_key', $sample_meta_field );
}
This code should be copied in functions.php file
Not tested of course.
Good luck ;)
The Ninja Forms Front-end Posting extension isn't really meant for displaying form submission data on the front end.
From: https://ninjaforms.com/extensions/front-end-posting/
"The Ninja Forms Front-end Posting extension gives you the power of the WordPress post editor on any publicly viewable page you choose."
If you want to show Ninja Forms submission data on the front end, you will have to retrieve them from the database with code in functions.php or by writing a plugin (recommended). You could then parse and manipulate them and create a shortcode that would allow you to insert your formatted submission data easily in Wordpress posts or pages.
Here's a link to a feature request, asking for the same thing. The author of that request posted a link to a plugin (click Download as Plugin) they wrote which may do what you want or give you further insights as to how you could implement this.
https://github.com/wpninjas/ninja-forms/issues/892
If you do not mind paying a little money for a plugin I would recommend using gravity forms rather then ninja forms for more advanced stuff like this.
I manually create a custom post type "oproep" and used a gravityforms plugin to create a custom post from type oproep when an user submits the form.
Because you use custom post type archive pages www.mysite.com/oproep will be automatically created so you already have a list of "Listings". The singe pages www.mysite.com/oproep/title will also be created for you by default, you could override these templates as well if you would like depending on your theme.
The only thing you have to do is add a few php lines to your functions.php (or write your own plugin) that adds the custom post type. The rest all works automatically.
I went so far as writing code to make users able to edit their submissions, read custom taxonomy tags in dropdowns etc. You got lots and lots of more options using gravity forms.
FrancescoCarlucci's answer is correct, but just adding an additional comment: in case you want to specify by form field IDs which fields should go where in your post, NinjaForms passes the ID as a number (in my case for example, I needed field 136 for my post title). It may have been obvious but I racked my brain for a while until I figured it out.
function create_post($form_data) {
$form_fields = $form_data[ 'fields' ];
$post_fields = array(
'post_content' => '',
'post_content_filtered' => '',
'post_title' => '',
'post_excerpt' => '',
'post_status' => 'pending',
'post_type' => 'post',
);
foreach ($form_fields as $field) {
$field_id = $field[ 'id' ];
$field_key = $field[ 'key' ];
$field_value = $field[ 'value' ];
if ($field_id == 136) {
$post_fields['post_title'] = $field_value;
}
}
wp_insert_post($post_fields, true);
}
I used this semi-official plugin to enable API call.
But I can't find a way to exclude category. For example if I have mysite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[category__not_in]=10, it will ignores the filter and show all latest posts.
Is there a way to exclude category from the API call?
With the Rest API some filters are available only for logged in users:
In addition, the following are available when authenticated as a user
with edit_posts:
[...]
category__not_in
This is taken from the Rest API 1.0 documentation.
What that mean is you need to logged in as an editor (user with edit_posts capability). For doing this in a clean way, I suggest create a minimal role for REST user with only the capabilities you need, something like this:
add_role(
'rest_user',
__( 'REST User' ),
array(
'read' => true,
'edit_posts' => true,
'delete_posts' => false
)
);
Then do your query as authenticated user with the following:
$response = wp_remote_request('http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[category__not_in]=10', array(
'method' => 'GET',
'headers' => array(
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode('login:password')
)
));
Thanks to this article you shared, it seems you need to declare the filter name as query var, so in this case:
add_filter('query_vars', function($query_vars) {
$query_vars[] = 'category__not_in';
return $query_vars;
});
Which make sense because Wordpress is droping any GET parameter that isn't declare, though I don't understand why all the filters are not declared as query vars inside the WP Core...
For WP API V2 use a minus sign, for example:
http://yourwpwebsite/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/&filter[cat]=1,2,-3
will retrieve all posts in categories with id= 1 and id = 2 but excluding any posts in category with id= 3
