Wp Courseware and 4.4.1 problem with listing Users

Just updated to 4.4.1 and am having issues listing my Users in the main WordPress dashboard. The issue is that the entire page is blank. Toggling on or off WP Courseware solves this problem. And I don’t think it is a memory issue as I’m on my own dedicated server and have allocated plenty of memory for WP.

The issue is that I have 40 or more WP Courseware “courses” for many users, and the core WP Courseware plugin lists every course the user is enrolled in (with progress for each course) on the main Users page of WordPress. Unfortunately the core plugin piggy backs on the Users page (users.php) and does not include a separate page for listing what users are enrolled in which courses (and ideally from there, a separate link to see each user’s progress).

So if you’re like me and now seeing this issue, there is a solution. You will need to lower the number of users that page lists by default. Here’s goes

To change number of Users to Display on WordPress Admin area

In the main wordpress folder go to…

wp-admin > includes > class-wp-users-list-table.php

Common sense says, download that file. Keep a backup just in case, then edit the following…

$users_per_page = $this->get_items_per_page( $per_page );

…to hard code a lower number

$users_per_page = 5;

Sadly I had to go pretty low, 5 users per page isn’t many, but at least it isn’t coming up as a blank page anymore.

Hope this helps someone! And to the cool folks at WP Courseware, please don’t forget about us hard-core teachers. Some of us have lots of courses!
