Role Include

I think that is pretty counter to default queries so you probably can’t do it with default arguments. You might be able to do it by filtering pre_user_query and writing your own SQL where statements, but I wouldn’t have the slightest idea how.

Too bad. Guess I’ll just have to use include for everyone. Luckily, it’s not a huge number. Thanks for the quick response.

As a sort of hackish way, you could filter the SUL query args, run a user query to get all the IDs of the contributors and then include all those IDs, PLUS your ID.

I tried the following and I was added to a list of subscribers, but I was added an infinite number of times. As I said, my SQL is pretty crap, but maybe it will give you some ideas.

add_action( 'pre_user_query', 'kia_user_query' );
function kia_user_query($query){
	if( ! is_admin() && isset( $query->query_vars['query_id'] ) && $query->query_vars['query_id'] == 'simple_user_listing' ){
		global $wpdb;
		$my_user_id = 1;
		$query->query_where .= " OR $wpdb->users.ID = $my_user_id";
	}
}

One more question: Is there any way to control the list order arbitrarily? I have one user (the Director) who needs to come first in the list.

Not that I know of. Either more complex SQL (SORTBY) or as a workaround you could give every user a specific meta key/value and then order by that.
