After creating a user with a certain role I need to do a custom sql query where it only selected users of a specific role.\u00a0 This failed to find anything:<\/p>\n
get_userinfo got the right role, so saving was correct.<\/p>\n $caps was null.\u00a0 weird.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You learn something new everyday.\u00a0 After looking through the WordPress core code I found that the meta key is actually composed of the table prefix and ‘capabilities’.\u00a0 So the correct query would be:<\/p>\nselect u.ID, u.display_name, u.user_login
\nfrom $wpdb->users as u
\ninner join $wpdb->usermeta as umr
\non ( umr.user_id = u.ID )
\nand ( umr.meta_key = 'wp_capabilities' )
\n<\/code><\/p>\n$user = get_userinfo( $user_id );
\nvar_dump( $user->roles );
\n<\/code><\/p>\n$caps = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'wp_capabilities' );
\nvar_dump( $caps );
\n<\/code><\/p>\nSolution<\/h2>\n
select u.ID, u.display_name, u.user_login
\nfrom $wpdb->users as u
\ninner join $wpdb->usermeta as umr
\non ( umr.user_id = u.ID )
\nand ( umr.meta_key = '\" . $wpdb->prefix . \"capabilities' )
