Hello how to remove or resize the padlock logo when you are logged in as admin?

Hi

The plugin place a ‘Swicht to User’ link in the admin bar. Exist any code to put the same feature in the theme or page/post. Can share any suggestion.

When I switch to another user in my development environment using LocalWP, I’m taken to a URL that adds a random port to the URL, for instance:

https://attuned-events.local:10023/wp-admin/?user_switched=true

I have to remove this each time I switch.

Hi dear support,

thank you for your great Plug-In.

Unforunately I get a lot of PHP warning in the debug.log called:
[15-Dec-2021 11:43:13 UTC] PHP Warning Undefined variable $port in /home/ashwagan/domains/holistic-med.ch/public_html/wp-content/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/functions/abus-core-functions.php on line 14

Could you fix that for the next update?

Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded the latest version and I love the tool. However, I’m getting this small error:

Notice: Undefined variable: port in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/functions/abus-core-functions.php on line 14

function abus_get_current_url($parse = false )
{
    $url = set_url_scheme( 'https://' . $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_HOST' ] . $port . $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ] );
    $port = ( $_SERVER[ 'SERVER_PORT' ] == '80') ? '' : ( ":".$_SERVER[ 'SERVER_PORT' ] );

A simple fix is to move line 15 first in the function. $port variable should be declared before being called in $url.

Hi There,

I am wondering how I can make the plugin show the Display Name only when performing search? I am not a coder, so if anyone has a simple line of code I can paste somewhere, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, thank you so much for creating and maintaining this plugin, it is extremely useful. I use it in multiple up to date installations of WordPress and it is a life saver.

Lately I noticed an deprecation notice.

Deprecated: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is deprecated. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in […]/wp-content/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/functions/abus-core-functions.php on line 14

Error disappeared when the parenthesis added, so on line 14:

$s = empty( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] ) ? '' : ( ( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] == 'on' ) ? 's' : '' );

instead of

$s = empty( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] ) ? '' : ( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] == 'on' ) ? 's' : '';

An update will also make this plugin show up to date in www.ads-software.com, so it will be great too!

Thanks again

Hello,

We absolutely love your plugin. We did have a request…
We use a Wholesale Plugin that gives us the ability to add custom fields to a user’s profile. We have this one custom field called Sales Rep where we assign a sales representative to each customer. We wanted to see if it is possible to have this field show in the search results, next to the customer’s name.
See mockup here: https://ibb.co/Nn9nkrv

Please let me know. This is important to us and we would be more than happy to pay for your time.

We look forward to hearing from you.

I’m trying to figure out a way to activate the magicword variable. I’ve reviewed the old conversation chain and it does not provide the following:
1) location of where the code should be added. I believe in the Code Snippets? Could you confirm?
2) I tried adding the code to the code snippets and typed “su” (after changing the magicword variable to “su”) and nothing occured on the site. Is there something else that needs to be entered prior to the magic word?

Hello,

Just reporting an issue with PHP 7.4.
[16-Jul-2020 21:20:28 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is deprecated.
Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/functions/abus-core-functions.php on line 14

$s = (empty( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] ) ? '' : (( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] == 'on' ) ? 's' : '')); // FIX.
    //$s = empty( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] ) ? '' : ( $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] == 'on' ) ? 's' : '';

Thank you.

Hi, How can I enable to show even when the screen is small because I need to use it from mobile phones, to switch between users. but don’t know how to enable it or make it sticky

Thank you so much for making such a great plugin. It has been a huge time saver for me and my colleagues. Any possibility you can update the plugin to show that it is compatible with the latest version of WordPress? I got an alert from Wordfence today saying that your plugin might be abandoned and so I just wanted to check with you to see if that’s the case or not. On the plugin WordPress page, it shows that it has been 2 years since the last update.

Thanks for all your work and hope to hear from you soon!

Hi @wpmarkuk, thank you for the plugin!

I’d like to translate it into Russian, but it’s not properly prepared for localization, see the warning on the plugin page in GlotPress:
https://translate.www.ads-software.com/projects/wp-plugins/admin-bar-user-switching

Could you please fix this to prepare the plugin for localization? Thanks!

Whenever I try using the this plugin’s switching and click on the user it found from the search, it brings me to the site’s login page rather than switching me. Just using User Switching’s native switch feature works fine.

On Desktop
The plugin works fine. You type a name, click Send and you find your customer (bold blue beneeth the input)
https://prntscr.com/iiu4eq

To clearify what I do on desktop i’ve made a rec: https://youtu.be/eNdTb7eSGUI

So what does happen on an iPad:
– click on input, type ‘nikola’
– hit ‘Send’ button
– the whole box closes and nothing happens
– after opening the box again there is NO bold blue result with Nikola

On our testing iPad
When visiting the shop on an iPad and opening the ‘Switch to User’ optin in the black header it does open. When typing and hitting ‘Send’ the whole box closes, when opened again there is nothing changed. (all of this on our iPad)

It seems that de iPad handles the ‘Send’ button to close the whole box in stead of performing a customer search.

When using the ‘Search’ option within the iPad keyboard the same happens, the whole box closes and when opened again by clicking on ‘Switch to User’ there is no search performed.

To clearify what happens on iPad i’ve made this recording: https://youtu.be/rCQBDFLma0I

So the base user switch works great with woocommerce. We are attempting to setup the admin bar plugin for our customer to make manual orders a bit easier.

When we try to switch to a customer account from the admin bar say from a woocommerce order, we typically get kicked to the wordpress login screen or a you dont have permission to see this page.

When switching with the base plugin from the users admin page it takes us to the woocommerce my account dashboard without issue.

Is this something thats fixable or possibly adding the ability to customize the landing url when switching to a user?

Hi,
Found this nifty utility today but it seems like CLoudFlare doesn’t like this kind of urls, I keep getting “Error 502 Bad gateway”.
When I remove the last part of the url such as “&redirect_to=https://….” then it works without any problem.
Have you seen something like that before?
Best regards

Hi are you open to a small custom modification?

I read the threads that explain why, editors for example, cannot switch and that is because then they would be able to switch to an admin and then increase their own capabilities.

How about is it possible that you could make it so that editors or authors could switch to other editors or author users, in other words have like users be able to switch to like users.

IF this were to work, it would be great!

Thanks

Hi,

When I use this plugin to search for a name, it shows just one of the names repeatedly, like this –> https://www.theacademygtc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Switch.png

Is that normal? And, if so, can I stop it so it shows all potential users and I pick the right one?

Thanks,

Jon

This plugin is useful, however it relies on you knowing the username of the user you want to switch to.

Would it be possible to add a settings page for the plugin where you could change from a text input to a selection list of users? Or better, select the users on the settings page that you want to appear in the dropdown, so you only see the ones you’ll commonly use (for sites with many users and an unmanageable list).

…Thanks for a great plugin!

Hello:

The combination of your Admin Bar User Switching with User Switching works exactly as I wished and solves lots of issues for me.

I have two remaining things I wish to resolve.

1. The Switch to User dropdown menu has a button that says “Submit Query”. I need to translate this string to another language and I cannot find where it comes from.

2. How can I change font color (or the background color) of the search string input box (right now there is no contrast and it cannot be read with my configuration).

Thanks in advance.

Hi, In the plugin description below, you say that it’s possible to use a keyboard combo to focus switch and switch off. Can you show me where I can read about where to place the “abus_ajax_args” and magic word variable? THANKS!!

The same combo can be used to focus the ‘Switch Off’ link, following a return to simulate a click.

To activate this feature and set the custom keyboard combination, aka magic word, you need to use the abus_ajax_args and add a ‘magicWord’ variable.

Note that keyboard navigation is not dependant on the custom keyboard combination, and can be used out of the box.

Hi,

Why the script admin-bar-user-switching/assets/js/abus_script.js?ver=4.5.2 is loaded within the header?

May have issue if loaded async?

Hi

I understand you changed this plugin from displaying a list of users because of performance issues with large numbers. However, from a testing point of view we often need to switch between the same users. Would it be possible to keep a recent history of say the last 3-5 users? This would be a nice compromise between having a full list and always having to search for the user to switch to.

Thanks
Isaac

There seems to be a problem on the frontend when the plugin is uses in conjunction with Assets Minify – apparently the order of the included JS files is messed up somewhere.

Since Assets Minify works with other JS code depending on jQuery, I can only assume this behavior is the result of the split between registering and enqueuing the assets in Admin Bar User Switching. I’ve also noted that you enqueue jQuery directly – AFAIK there should not be a need to do that, the WP dependency system should automatically take care of it.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/

the main user switch plugin works fine but the toolbar box doesn’t work.

Firstly, I can’t see any text when I type in the box.

Secondly, even if I copy and paste a user it says ‘no user found’.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/

When I switch to an alternate user, I get presented with a error screen saying “Cheatin’, uh?”

Fortunately, refreshing to /wp-admin works okay, so I was able to switch back to the admin ID using the “User Switching”-provided link, and deactivate the plugin.

Hello,

I know that you mentioned this might be a new feature but I was wondering if there was a way to make it search first / last names instead of or in addition to the username.

I just know my user’s first / last names much better then their username

Thanks!

PS Amazing plugin!!

Hi,
on Multisite an administrator can switch in the backend but not in the frontend. In the admin bar there isn′t the option to switch.
Is it posible to give an editor the rights at the admin bar to switch?
Thanks for answer.
