I fixed this without modifying wp_insert_user.

I noticed that get_user_by_email is the function that returns “true” and throws everything off and that it is pluggable. So I did this:

if ( !function_exists('get_user_by_email') ) :
/**
 * Retrieve user info by email.
 *
 * @since 2.5
 *
 * @param string $email User's email address
 * @return bool|object False on failure, User DB row object
 */
function get_user_by_email($email) {
	if(strlen($email) == 0 || empty($email) || $email == "" || strpos($email, "@") == false)
	{
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		return get_user_by('email', $email);
	}
}
endif;

Basically, this prevents the admin account from returning as a duplicate for any user being created without an e-mail address.

car777rod,
I can’t find anything I’m doing that could effect this URL.

Are you sure updating the plugin was the only thing that caused this? WordPress changed their user creation function in WP3.0. I think this is a more likely suspect.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Clif

Just saw this, car777rod.

I’ll look into this…going to push out some kind of update to the plugin tomorrow.

Thanks.

I considered that solution, but I really want to make my plugin work with WP3+ without modifying or replacing wp_insert_user.

Anyone else have input? I might just have to cave in.

No worries, Ryan.

I still haven’t found any good solution on this.

No one have any input on this?

I really need an answer.

<shameless bump>

Hi ProDevStudio,
Sorry just saw this.

That frame is an afterthought…just a way for me to communicate directly with users.

Did you have problems with the core functionality?

Anyone else dealt with this?

wnnoris,

I realize it’s been 8 months since you posted, but I was revisiting this issue and stumbled upon my old post and your response.

I think removing the filter is a perfect solution.

Thanks,
Clif

I didn’t anticipate that scenario.

I will try to fix this in the next release. (No timeline on that yet)

No input? None?

Hi guys,
I don’t check the forums much. I’m sorry for my late reply.

Featured Category displays at the beginning of The_Loop on your main page. I’m not sure what samboll is talking about, I suspect he is confusing my plugin with another plugin.

Caveat: Featured Category may not work well with WP Super Cache. I haven’t had time to fully investigate this, but I think it is due to the juggling act I have to do to get the box to display at the correct place on the page. (There is no convenient action to piggy back)

I will try to clean up the instructions per your recommendation, dkatzman.

I have opened up a trac ticket:

https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/8841#preview

Please note any additional information there.

Excellent! That makes perfect sense…I believe I adjusted the level of threading allowed after this particular post already had a fair number of comments.

Great work.

Ipstenu, do you want to open up the bug report or would you prefer I do so?

I don’t see anyway these problems are being created by the user.
