| * Update the user_nicename field in the database after changing a username. | |
| * | |
| * Use this snippet after updating a user's username (user_login) using a plugin like | |
| * "Easy Username Updater" or similar tools. This ensures that the profile URL updates | |
| * correctly by setting the user_nicename field to match the updated username. | |
| * | |
| * Instructions: | |
| * 1. Add this snippet to your theme's functions.php file or use a code snippets plugin. | |
| * 2. Replace 'USER_ID_HERE' with the actual user ID of the member whose URL you want to update. | |
| * 3. Save the changes and visit the site to execute the code. | |
| * 4. IMPORTANT: Remember to remove or disable the snippet after execution to prevent unintended updates. | |
