Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to reply. This makes sense to me. I’ll re-implement my plugin using the Options API and creating the forms manually.

Hi @fcpro,

Thanks for the feedback! I have been busy, but will scheduled some time to work on this plugin. I added an issue on GitHub to support translations and configure the default settings.

I will work on this soon and make a new release!

Thanks,
srg

Hi @bcworkz,

Thanks for the response. I tried to override $_POST[’email’] as you mentioned, but it doesn’t seem to be working still.

I have an if statement that checks if $_POST[’email’] is different from what’s currently in the DB. It seems that when I try to change the email on the Profile Edit page, $_POST[’email’] still has the OLD email address, not the new one. I used error_log() to debug this. My code is below (the code is stripped of other functions for simplicity).

In my code above, is it a bug that pre_user_first_name, pre_user_last_name, and pre_user_nickname work fine, but pre_user_email does not? If so, should I file a bug report?

<?php
new StopEmailChange();

class StopEmailChange {
	public function __construct() {
		add_action('admin_init', array($this, 'add_admin_hooks'));
	}
	
	public function add_admin_hooks() {
		add_action('personal_options_update', array($this, 'disable_profile_fields_post'));
	}

	public function disable_profile_fields_post() {
		add_filter('pre_user_first_name', function () { $UserObj = wp_get_current_user(); return $UserObj->first_name; });
		add_filter('pre_user_last_name', function () { $UserObj = wp_get_current_user(); return $UserObj->last_name; });
		add_filter('pre_user_nickname', function () { $UserObj = wp_get_current_user(); return $UserObj->user_nicename; });
	
		// The above add_filter() won't work for email addresses for some reason. Instead, just modify $_POST directly.
		$UserObj = wp_get_current_user();
		error_log('User Email in DB: ' . $UserObj->user_email);
	
		if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
			error_log('POSTemail is set: ' . $_POST['email']);
		
			if ($_POST['email'] != $UserObj->user_email) {
				error_log('Email has changed in POST; changing back.');
				$_POST['email'] = $UserObj->user_email;
			}
		}
	}
}
?>

In my PHP error log, this is printing:

[03-Jan-2017 16:06:29 UTC] User Email in DB: [email protected]
[03-Jan-2017 16:06:29 UTC] POSTemail is set: [email protected]

Even though I am trying to change my email to [email protected]. It never gets inside that last if statement.

Thank you!

Hi @wfalaa,

Thanks for the response and info. I read the link you gave. I still get the impression that this is IP-based lockouts. If my username is “srg” and I mistype “srgg”, does it only lock out the “srgg” account? Meaning, I can still login immediately with the correct “srg” account?

I think the best solution would be for us to setup ssl offloading on our reverse proxy so that we can get the real IP address of the user.

Thanks,
Steve

edit: Ignore, I didn’t see the other pages of discussion.

Thanks, I’ll do that.

Hi @siobhyb,

I looked at your first link (tommcfarlin.com), and it seemed to be specific to domain-based multisite. We are using a folder-based multisite. Logging in on the sites work fine, the errors appear when a user is browsing to the site.

I believe it is specific to Quintus because it only happens on sites using the Quintus theme. I tested this by creating a new site and using the Twenty Twelve theme. No errors in the php or apache logs. Then I switched to the Quintus theme and the errors started appearing. I switched back and the errors were gone. I did not modify the content on the site during the test and I was browsing in an Incognito window without being logged in.

My current .htaccess contains the following, which is exactly as the Network Admin Dashboard -> Network Setup page tells me to have:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-\+\-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Thanks!

I don’t know how long this error has been occurring for. I just noticed it today.

• No, WP was not updated.
• No, plugins were not modified.
• No, themes were not modified.
• This is a large multisite and we have 33 themes installed. A few are custom coded and all others are from www.ads-software.com
• Core and almost all plugins are up to date. 2 plugins are outdated. The update is scheduled per our change-management procedures.
• Yes, the server was migrated to new hardware. The domain name and directories are exactly the same. This was about a month ago.
• The site has been and still is working properly, except I’m seeing this PHP warning.
• This is the server error log.

Thanks!

It seems to be happening only on sites with the quintus theme (this is a multisite). I’m posting a support request in their forum.

Thanks for the info @neotrope. I know I can manually change the setting to create new users for syndicated feeds, but I was hoping there was a way to force this network-wide. My multisite has ~2,000 sites, each with their own admins. It’s not practical to go into each site and change the setting.

It looks like this is due to the unicode character in the Author’s name in the plugin header.

Hi David,

Is this still being worked on? I, too, would love an option for this.

Thanks,
Steve

Hm, I tested this out with another browser and it worked. I’m not sure what it was, but I suspect it was my adblocker that was causing the issue. It’s weird because I was able to upload the image through the WordPress dashboard, but not through ClassifiedsWP.

I marked the topic as resolved. I’ll follow up if I find out any additional details. Thanks!

I would also be very interested in a feature like this. If I have time, I can modify the plugin to add such a feature.

Thanks!
