Frequenty Asked Questions

Do user accounts expire automatically?

Yes. There is a built in WP-Cron job that will check the user accounts created by the plugin and compare the stored expiration date. Users that have expired will be automatically set to "Subscriber".

I don't want to send the new user email. Can I prevent that?

Absolutely! There's a filter.

/**
 * Don't send the new user email when creating a new user.
 *
 * @return boolean
 */
add_filter( 'temporary_admin_user_disable_new_user_email', '__return_true' );

Can I change the default ranges?

Sure can. There is a filter that impacts both promoting and extending a user, and then a more specific one for each action.

/**
 * Change the default times for extending and promoting user actions.
 *
 * @param  string  $duration  The current duration range. Default is 'day'.
 * @param  integer $user_id   The individual user ID being updated.
 *
 * @return string             One of the ranges to get a timestamp from.
 */
function prefix_set_default_action_range( $duration, $user_id ) {
    return 'week';
}
add_filter( 'temporary_admin_user_default_user_action_range', 'prefix_set_default_action_range', 10, 2 );

/**
 * Change the default times for extending, but not promoting users.
 *
 * @param  string  $duration  The current duration range. Default is 'day'.
 * @param  integer $user_id   The individual user ID being updated.
 *
 * @return string             One of the ranges to get a timestamp from.
 */
function prefix_set_default_extend_range( $duration, $user_id ) {
    return 'week';
}
add_filter( 'temporary_admin_user_default_user_extend_range', 'prefix_set_default_extend_range', 10, 2 );

function prefix_set_default_promote_range( $duration, $user_id ) {
    return 'week';
}
add_filter( 'temporary_admin_user_default_user_promote_range', 'prefix_set_default_promote_range', 10, 2 );

Are there other hooks in the plugin?

You betcha. I would suggest reading the source code to get a better idea of what else can be done until I'm able to find time to document them all.

How do the CLI commands work?

Check in the Help Tab above the admin table, and all the commands and their options are explained. You can also type wp tmp-admin-user in the connected terminal and all the commands are shown.

I found a bug or have a feature request. How should I handle it?

Open a new issue in this repository and I'll see what I can do.
