Get multiple roles with get_users

by

I’ve got some code like this:

$query_args = array();
$query_args['fields'] = array( 'ID', 'display_name' );
$query_args['role'] = 'subscriber';
$users = get_users( $query_args );
foreach ($users as $user) $users_array[$user->ID] = $user->display_name;

I want to get more roles and also include contributor, author and some custom roles I created with the Role Scoper plugin e.g. Manager, etc. Any ideas how I can do this with get_users?

Thanks

Fastforward to WordPress 4.4 – it will support the role__in attribute!

It looks like WordPress 4.4 is our lucky version number, because it will support both the role__in and role__not_in attributes of the WP_User_Query class.

So to include the subscriber, contributor and author roles, we can simply use:

$users = get_users( [ 'role__in' => [ 'subscriber', 'subscriber', 'author' ] ] );
