I have a question about the possibility of a user count from another site. The company I work at has an account for every employee on our main-site WordPress, which we display on the our-people page, making it dynamic.
The company I work at also has a website for a specific product with a employee-counter, only it is static.
Is it possible to get the user count from our main website and display it on our product-website, thus making it dynamic?
EDIT: Think it might be possible with a AJAX request, but don't know how...
@misorude The other site is also WordPress. With static I only meant the employee number is static, and needs to be dynamic. The sites are hosted at the same provider, but on different packets.
EDIT 2:
The new problem is basically this: How do I let only the client side interact with those API calls? I don't want those API calls to be public and be called by simply entering the link on browser.
edit 3:
function getUserAmount() {
$users = get_users();
if ( empty( $users ) ) {
return 'There aren\'t any users to display.';
}
return count($users);
}
/* Preparing to serve an API request */
add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
register_rest_route( 'myplugin/v2', '/wp/colleagues',
array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => 'getUserAmount',
)
);
} );
How can I make it public? I can only get the data if i'm logged in.
SOLVED IT: I wanted to display the user count so I implemented this code:
/* Function custom API ROUTE user count*/
function getUserAmount() {
$users = get_users(); // Get all wordpress users
if ( empty( $users ) ) { // If there aren't any users display an error
return 'There aren\'t any users to display.';
}
return count($users); // Return amount of users
}
/* Preparing to serve an API request */
add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
register_rest_route( '/wp/v2', '/users',
array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => 'getUserAmount',
)
);
} );
Next I opened the /wp-json/wp/v2/users in the Disable REST API plug-in.
At first I tried using my self-made url: /wp-json/api/wp/colleagues/, but this didn't work, because I couldn't open it in the plug-in, so it was blocked.
Just using a regular link (/wp-json/wp/v2/users) and returning count()
instead of it's normal value, it worked!
