Column Position​

The column appears after "Role" by default.

To change position (developer):

    // Reorder columns
    $new_columns = [];
    foreach ($columns as $key => $value) {
        $new_columns[$key] = $value;
        if ($key === 'email') {
            $new_columns['onetap_source'] = $columns['onetap_source'];
            unset($columns['onetap_source']);
        }
    }
    return $new_columns;
}, 20);

  2. Include meta fields
  3. Export _onetap_registered_via

CSV for Analysis​

Create report of Google users:

  1. Filter to "Google" users
  2. Use export plugin
  3. Analyze in spreadsheet

Hooks for Developers​

Customize Column Content​

add_filter('onetap_admin_column_output', function($output, $user_id) {
    // Add login count
    $count = get_user_meta($user_id, '_onetap_login_count', true);
    if ($count) {
        $output .= " ({$count} logins)";
    }
    return $output;
}, 10, 2);

Add Additional Column​

add_filter('manage_users_columns', function($columns) {
    $columns['onetap_logins'] = 'Google Logins';
    return $columns;
});

add_action('manage_users_custom_column', function($output, $column, $user_id) {
    if ($column === 'onetap_logins') {
        $count = get_user_meta($user_id, '_onetap_login_count', true) ?: 0;
        return $count;
    }
    return $output;
}, 10, 3);
