#33869 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

get_user_by() should accept ID as a field

Description

get_user_by() and WP_User::get_data_by() which it calls accept id but not ID as a value for the $field argument. This is counter-intuitive, since the DB column is "ID" not "id". I am attaching a patch to allow passing "ID", without breaking the use of "id".

In 34125:

Accept 'ID' as a valid $field in get_user_by().

We already accept 'id'. ID more closely matches the database and
WP_User schemas.

Props Shelob9.
