When username doesn't match email?

    I have what might be a not-very-common use case, but one that I’ve tested a small addition to the plugin you might want to consider.

    • Pre-Import – Create user exampleA with email [email protected]
    • Import – Row has user exampleB with email [email protected]
    • The import indicates Problems with user exampleB, we are skipping via alert.

    The detection from get_user_by(‘login’) and is_wp_error determines whether it is a problem. The snippet below adds another round of logic before the problem message is displayed by checking if get_user_by(’email’) does also return a valid result. You’d probably want to also add a submit option whether to process this scenario of logic if you are adding it to the plugin.

    Add at line 165 of current version of plugin:

    if( is_wp_error($user_id) ){
                    $user_object = get_user_by( "email", $email );
                    $user_id = $user_object->ID;
                    $data[0] = $user_object->user_login . "<br/>(File: " . $username . ")";
                    if( !empty($password) )
                        wp_set_password( $password, $user_id );
                    }

    My use case requires it because we authenticate via a separate LDAP server where the email is the most consistent data point to match to.

    idealien,

    Thanks for your message and also thanks for your code and the idea.

    I have prepared a new version, I have changed something to make it more ordered but the idea is the same:


    if( username_exists($username) ){ // if user exists, we take his ID by login
    $user_object = get_user_by( "login", $username );
    $user_id = $user_object->ID;

    if( !empty($password) )
    wp_set_password( $password, $user_id );
    }
    elseif( email_exists( $email ) ){ // if the email is registered, we take the user from this
    $user_object = get_user_by( "email", $email );
    $user_id = $user_object->ID;

    $data[0] = $user_object->user_login . "
    (File: " . $username . ")";

    if( !empty($password) )
    wp_set_password( $password, $user_id );
    }
    else{
    if( empty($password) ) // if user not exist and password is empty but the column is set, it will be generated
    $password = wp_generate_password();

    $user_id = wp_create_user($username, $password, $email);
    }

    if( is_wp_error($user_id) ){ // in case the user is generating errors after this checks
    echo '<script>alert("Problems with user: ' . $username . ', we are going to skip");</script>';
    continue;
    }

    You will receive the update soon I have sent it.
