In the file /wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php the following was removed in rev1036:
if ( empty($user->user_url) ) {
$userdata = array();
$userdata['ID'] = $user->id;
$userdata['user_url'] = get_blogaddress_by_id($blog_id);
$userdata['user_login'] = $user->user_login;
wp_update_user($userdata);
}
So now user_url is blank when someone registers (sometimes it adds http:// in the entry). I found out about this because I noticed that the latest members who register in my wpmu install dont have their username link to their site in my bbpress integration.
I checked the database and all the users registered after I upgraded to rev1036 have user_url blank or with http:// and nothing else.
I checked the trunk for changes between rev1010 (the one I had) to rev1039 and it was the only instance of user_url removed but it wasnt added anywhere else.
Why is this? And why does it sometimes add http:// now and leave some blank? I want to add those lines back in, but I dont want it to break something else.
Anyone know why it was removed? Thanks.
Edit: I added it back and now user_url does get populated so it works for me, but I'd still like to know why it was removed. Just to know if I should keep it or not.
