get_current_user_id()

Hi iso96

Are you missing a single quote at the beginnig of the string here?

require_once(www.mysite.co.uk/wp-includes/pluggable.php');

require_once expects a path on the server and not a URL. So for example you can’t pass https://www.mysite.co.uk/wp-includes/pluggable.php but you can do /var/www/wp-includes/pluggable.php. By default most web servers don’t allow you to include files from a remote addresss for security reasons.

Can you explain a bit more what it is you want to do?

Maybe the Rest API does what you want.

Hi

Thanks for helping me with this, i did that the quote missing but when i added it, it was still the same.

tried this:

<?php
require_once(ABSPATH. ‘wp-includes/pluggable.php’);
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
echo ‘User ID: ‘ . $current_user->ID . ‘
‘;
?>

but also still not working.

This is what i am try to do:

I have an external site that shares the wordpress database.
I want when someone logs into wordpress site they can do all the stuff on the wordpress site forum/blog etc. but i also have a menu with links to pages of my external site.
So when the user clicks on a link to open a page eg ‘external site scheduler’ the page opens and recognises the userid whos logged into wordpress and then looks up that userid in my tables and shows that users ‘schedule’

hope that makes sense.

Are both sites on the same server?
If so, see this:

Hi i have put uploaded the external site to the same server and its seems to be getting closer:

<?php
require_once(‘C:/Inetpub/vhosts/site.co.uk/test.site.co.uk/wp-includes/user.php’);

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ($user_id == 0) {
echo ‘You are currently not logged in.’;
} else {
echo ‘You are logged in as user ‘.$user_id;
}
?>

the only problem is its ssays im not logged in when i am! at least its not showing an error message.

any more ideas?

Have you tried this

Remove the require_once you have now

And add this at the top of the page:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('C:/Inetpub/vhosts/site.co.uk/test.site.co.uk/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Hi,

I can get their example code to work (the blog) but still cant get it to show the user ID!

iso

It seems to work on my test install.

Is the code you have currently this?

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('C:/Inetpub/vhosts/site.co.uk/test.site.co.uk/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php
$user_id = get_current_user_id();

if ($user_id == 0) {
echo 'You are currently not logged in.';
} else {
echo 'You are logged in as user '.$user_id;
}
?>

hello kept it as simple as possible and it still just returns 0 even though i am logged in?

<?php
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘C:/Inetpub/vhosts/site.co.uk/test.site.co.uk/Forum/wp-includes/user.php’);
?>
<?php $user_ID = get_current_user_id();
echo $user_ID;
?>

This is the process

open wordpress site and login
open external site which runs the script above
returns 0

am i missing something?

thanks

iso
