User Biographical Information deleted on login

  • This plugin deletes the “Biographical Information” field from a user’s profile when they log in.

    To reproduce:

    1. Disable all plugins except Active Directory Integration.
    2. In MySQL, query the wp_users table for a user you can log in with. Note the user_id.
    3. Run select * from wp_usermeta where user_id=THE_ID and meta_key='description'
    4. Populate this field in the UI or in MySQL, note that it persists.
    5. Log out. Run the query again. Field value should still be there.
    6. Log in. Run the query again. Field value has been deleted.
    7. Repeat this test with the Active Directory Integration plugin disabled. Field value persists.

    Actually I can’t reproduce this locally, only on dev and prod environments, so something is probably wrong with our AD server. Would be interested to know if anyone else experiencing this.

  • I’ve noticed this as well. Set the First, Last, and Display Name one day. User logs in and it’s all erased. I’ve checked the settings and have set Display Name, on the Users tab, to pull the Common Name, but no dice.

    I wonder if I’m missing something else…
