Conditional IF statement not returning true even though echo of $user->province is correct

0 Views

I am having a problem with an if statement which I have now tested many times over. 

        $user_query = new WP_User_Query( array( 'role' => 'Subscriber' ) );

        if ( !empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
            foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {

                echo $user->province . '<br/>'; // this outputs the province as expected, i.e. Free State


                if ($user->province == 'Free State') { // This does not return true, even though the echo above works
                    echo '<strong>' . $user->company_name . '</strong> <br/>';
                    echo $user->town. '<br/>';
                    echo $user->province. '<br/>';
                }


        } else {
            echo 'There are currently no photographers for this region.';
        }

}

  2. First I would make sure the output on the echo is exactly as you suspect by wrapping it in <pre> tags, then viewing source on the front end to make sure there are no other special characters involved.

    I notice that this post, http://tommcfarlin.com/wp_user_query/ uses $user_query->get_results(); instead of $user_query->results; maybe give that a try?

    I’ve always had problems with doing if statements by name and where possible use id’s instead. But it doesn’t sound like that is possible here :/
