Cool find, Gene!
I can see this being very useful for the site admin!
@Gene53 BuddyPress does have an edit user function. I use it as admin all the time on my site to do just what you said (usually tidying up display names from older non-savvy new members). Skeleton Key, as cool as it is, is unnecessary
@Mike Pratt Hey Mike. I have a BP/WP single install and without Skeleton Key, I can only edit basic info (name, nickname & email addy) via the standard WP admin panel (user -> edit). When using Skeleton Key, I can edit the user’s custom fields, avatar, notification, etc..
Does this only work with the username “admin” or just anyone with admin as role?
I don’t use “admin” as my head admin username anymore.
@ Mike Pratt
Not all plugins for buddypress enable delete functions etc for admins yet, this is a great way around that.
@xezo that is correct. I thought he was talking about access to all profile fields for edit/delete, for which you do have access via the extra Admin bar menus created by BP for admins. Those are the ones I use all the time (fixing avatar crop screw ups, as an example)
So, from that perspective, the only use for Skeleton Key would be for additional stuff introduced by less that robust plugins, no?
@xevo it works with whatever username admins have.
@Mike Pratt “BuddyPress does have an edit user function” My bad, I just noticed Admin Options when I click on a user’s name. Mind you, I’ll still keep Skeleton Key in case I need to edit a user’s settings, etc.
