    Hi there,

    Fantastic plugin thank you!

    I have a question because I have a custom function that prints a user directory based on their Role in the system.

    I have found I can get all users with a specific Primary Role using the WordPress API function:

    get_users('role=contributor&fields=ID')

    However I would like now to do the same but for Other Role (secondary role), please can you tell me how I can do the same with the above function and if it is not possible is there a custom function I can use to do this?

    Many thanks.

    i.e. is there a function that will just return user ID’s that have <role_name> assigned.

    otherwise would I need to query the usermeta table (get_user_meta())??

    Thanks!

    After some experiments I found that get_users already looks for primary and secondary roles – the above will therefore return all UserID’s having ‘contributor’ as thier Primary and Secondary roles

    Hello!
    Where did you make changes for this?
    Can I get the codes you use?
    I also want to get the user named ‘Employer’, so I can restrict the buttons/page will show.

    Thank you so much!
