wp_xmlrpc_server::wp_getUser( array $args )

Retrieve a user.


Description Description

The optional $fields parameter specifies what fields will be included in the response array. This should be a list of field names. ‘user_id’ will always be included in the response regardless of the value of $fields.

Instead of, or in addition to, individual field names, conceptual group names can be used to specify multiple fields. The available conceptual groups are ‘basic’ and ‘all’.


Parameters Parameters

  • 'blog_id'
    (int) (unused)
  • 'username'
    (string)
  • 'password'

    (int)
