This does not work when the current user has already been set to anonymous ( ID = 0 ) since the following test returns true. if ( isset( $current_user ) && ( $current_user instanceof WP_User ) && ( $id == $current_user->ID ) ) { The last part of the test should be corrected to && ($id === $current_user->ID) ) which will ensure that the test fails when the $id parameter is null, which will allow the rest of the pluggable function to continue and set the current user to the specified $name. This is similar to #19769. Note: the change in 3.4 has not fixed this particular problem.",defect (bug),new,normal,Awaiting Review,Users,3.3.2,normal,,,,
