Include User Switching Link Outside users.php

    Is it possible to create a “Switch To” link in a location other than the users.php page?

    I would like to use this capability with a custom plugin I’ve developed to put a button for someone to sign in as the user a custom post type is tied to.

    I cannot call the action_personal_options() function directly and it seems I cannot create a new instance of the class user_switching either.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Yeah you can do this with the following code:

    $link = user_switching::maybe_switch_url( $user ) where $user is an instance of WP_User.

    It’ll return the URL for switching to the user if the current user can switch to the given user, or boolean false if not.
