Description

Hi,

I've reworked all of my plugins to build upon the new Settings API. The handling and security are great.

As far as I understand, the Settings API can't be used for user options. - What do you think about an extension of register_setting & Co. to reflect user options?

Greetz,
Berny

Isn't that what update_user_option() and related functions do?

Keywords user user_option register_setting api profile added; close removed

Sure, you can use update_user_option to add/change user-specific values.

Anyway what I was referring to is an API for the profile-page wp-admin/profile.php which can be used like the Settings API (as also mentioned by westi in comment:4:ticket:16004)
