Description
Cross-Site User Search allows administrators to search for users across multiple independent WordPress sites that are connected via a secure API. Each site running the plugin generates a unique API key, which must be entered into the other sites' plugins to establish a connection. The plugin uses a custom API (not the WordPress REST API) that requires authentication through the API key, ensuring private communication between sites. Once connected, the plugin enables real-time user searches across all linked sites.
Features:
- Search for users across multiple WordPress sites, whether they are part of a multisite network or completely separate domains.
- Find users by email or display name.
- View user profile details, including roles and custom user meta.
- Easily view users in a comparison table.
- Additional option to quicky see all administrators, helping ensure correct admin access across sites.
- Secure authentication via secure API key for private cross-site communication.
- Simple and intuitive interface under the "Users" menu in the admin panel.
Ideal for administrators managing multiple WordPress sites who need a centralized way to locate and manage users.
