Moving functions from functions.php to plugin – stops working

  • Hi,

    I am developing a plugin, and I have some code in my child theme’s functions.php file that I would like to move into the plugin. When I do however, that particular piece of functionality stops. The piece of code in question adds some custom columns to the users table.

    Is there any reason why that would be triggered from within the plugin but would work from the functions.php file?

    This is on a local dev.

    Hi

    Here’s the code

  // Add Column headers for Membership Number and Expiry Date
  $column_headers['lpf_mem_num'] = 'Membership Number';
  $column_headers['lpf_mem_exp_date'] = 'Membership Expiry Date';
  return $column_headers;
}

add_action('manage_users_custom_column',  'lpf_show_membership_details', 10, 3);

function lpf_show_membership_details($value, $column_name, $user_id) {
    // Add Query to return Membership Expiry Date

    Thanks for taking the time to have a look. Much appreciated.

    Please by adding this code in your plugin file it will definitely help you.

    Thanks for the code, however it still is not working.

    Could it be a prioritisation issue with the later code being executed to overwrite/counteract these changes?
