Comment on Customising User Profile Data in WordPress by Dave Kinkead

@jeff,

I haven’t used Simple Press so can’t help you too much there.

You can find heaps of WP info in the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page. Just search for user data and you should be sweet.

Cheers

Dave -
This is great! Love this site

I am using Simple Press forum plugin for my blog. When I log in though the WP admin dashboard (as normal) SP automatically logs me into my blog.

I need to link (in some way) the blog theme’s “SIGN IN/create a new account/forgot your password” feature in the sidebar with the Simple Press plugin (so that my blog membership can piggy back off of the SP forum).

How do I do this? I don’t know WHERE in my WP file structure this profile/member/user data is being stored! Where can I read about how that all works? You will see what I mean if you go to the blog http://www.mrfilmscore.com

If you can help me out on this one I’d REALLY appreciate it : )

Best -

Thanks @chadwick.

I’ve also fixed the recent drafts error and everything is sweet for WordPress 3.0.

the plugin works well with wp 3.0 but not for “recent drafts” metabox.

i don’t know if is a general problem or only for me.

@marikamitsos

I haven’t upgraded to WP3.0 yet so I can’t say if it works after 2.9.x.

With regard to what you want to do, you can set each widget to be visible to a particular user ability. So for example if you as super-admin can ‘edit-plugins’ but the admins can’t, just set visibility to that level.

I’ll be checking 3.0 compatibility soon.

Cheers, Dave

Hi there.
Everyone says what a wonderful plugin you have. I have not tried it yet.
My issue with deciding which widgets to show came up when decided to have a multisite with wordpress 3. This is what I am looking for:
I want to be able to show fewer options (widgets on dashboard)to administrators than I get to see as super-admin.
Can I do this with your plugin?
Thank you in advance. marikamitsos

Great plugin! All other dashboard editors do no allow that kind of fine grained selection. The way you can link it to a capability instead of a role (or only level) is rather ingenious but make the menu rather long in the end. However it work beautifully even in the latest version 3.0-RC2-15182
