How can I get the user to which the IP is related?

    Using the following code, I want to be able to get the user to which the current IP address is assigned, and then get user meta from that user. Is there a function I can use for this? wp_get_current_user() is not returning a valid user.

    public function isAllowed(): bool
    	{

    		if (!is_plugin_active('ip-based-login/ip-based-login.php') || !function_exists('is_logged_in_using_ipbl')) {
    			return false;
    		}

    		$logged_in = is_logged_in_using_ipbl();

    		if (!$logged_in) {
    			return false;
    		}

    		var_dump('IPBL is active and the user is logged in.');

    		exit;

    		//$current_user = ?????

    		return true;
    	}

    Hi,

    Which filter are you using to call your isAllowed() function ?

    I tried to use wp_footer filter and I am able to get the user details from wp_get_current_user() function. I used the following sample code :

    function your_function() {

    	$logged_in = is_logged_in_using_ipbl();

    	if (!$logged_in) {
    		return false;
    	}

    	var_dump('IPBL is active and the user is logged in.');
    	var_dump(wp_get_current_user());

    	exit;

    	return true;
    }
    add_action( 'wp_footer', 'your_function' );

    Can you try using another filter and check ? If you still face the issue please let me know which filter you are using so I can try with the same.

    I’m trying to use it in a permission_callback callback on register_rest_route (for a custom REST API endpoint. I can also see that it works in the wp_footer hook, so I can only imagine that the plugin doesn’t fire somehow during REST endpoint requests.

    Hi,

    I have not tested the plugin with Rest API endpoint yet.

    Are you intending to, or would it be better for me to search out an alternative solution?

    I do intend do check this but I cannot give an ETA. I think it is something related to the action used. The plugin uses “init” WordPress action to trigger login. Maybe that is being triggered at a later time when using REST API.

    If you happen to find a solution to share it here so I can include it as a patch.
