WP User Preferences

Prefer personal user settings over site and network settings.

WP User Preferences allows users to override certain site & network configurations to suit their own personal needs. Languages, time-zones, date & time formats, currency formats, and email notifications are a few examples of user preferences.

Installation

• Download and install using the built in WordPress plugin installer.
• Activate in the "Plugins" area of your admin by clicking the "Activate" link.
• No further setup or configuration is necessary.

API

Use wp_get_user_preference( $user_id, $key ) to retrieve a preference for a specific user, or wp_get_current_user_preference( $key ) for the current user. The plugin checks an existing user-meta value first, then the site option, and finally the network option on multisite.

Use the wp_map_user_preference_key filter when the corresponding user, site, and network keys differ. Use wp_get_user_preference to filter the resolved value.
