Manage unconfirmed users on multisite

[danielbachhuber]

On multisite, a super admin can send an invite to a user to create an account. Until the invitation is accepted, the account lives in an odd, unconfirmed limbo state.

Unconfirmed is a nifty plugin for managing unconfirmed users. While core figures out whether this is a problem they want to solve, it would be nice to have CLI for performing these operations.

For what it's worth, I have https://github.com/trepmal/wp-cli-unconfirmed-users

Closing this at wontfix — best implemented as a community package first.

Hi @danielbachhuber, after seven years, do you have a different opinion about supporting unconfirmed user handling in WP-CLI? @trepmal's package is nice, but it's cumbersome to install a package on many projects (and the unconfirmed command should be a user subcommand, IMO).

I think a tool like WP-CLI aimed at WordPress power users should include these advanced features (as in: not supported by WordPress UI) by default. Just like it includes existential commands like search-replace.

BTW, an alternative to the "Unconfirmed" plugin is the great "WP User Signups" plugin by @JJJ.

Thanks a lot!

@tyrann0us I'm not strongly opposed, no. We can reopen this.

@danielbachhuber, that's great to hear, thanks!

@trepmal, would you agree on and have the resources to do a PR against https://github.com/wp-cli/entity-command to bring the code you wrote in https://github.com/trepmal/wp-cli-unconfirmed-users to core WP-CLI?
From the looks of it, it shouldn't be too much work. 🙂

Thanks!

I have created separate signup command here. https://github.com/ernilambar/signup-command If acceptable, I can prepare PR against entity-command repo.

[tyrann0us]

@ernilambar, good job, thanks! I'm not an author, but I suggest creating a PR to get things rolling.

PR create here wp-cli/entity-command#489

[tyrann0us]

With wp-cli/entity-command#489 released as part of WP-CLI 2.11.0, the wp user signup command is now available and this issue can be closed. Almost 9 years after it was created. 💪🏽 🙂
