[wp-testers] logout/signon bug?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

Lets start from the start... I'm not even sure why you're attempting
to do it the way you are....
Don't mess with user authentication.. unless you want to log the user
in as a user.. which is exactly what you're doing (and thus, why it
isn't working)

You can display user meta, or any details about a user, without
logging the user in, the most obvious method of doing so, is to
instantate a new user object, and grab the data from there:

$user = new WP_User( 'dd32' );
echo $user->first_name . ' ' . $user->last_name;

If for some reason you needed to switch between user accounts, there
is a function to do so, but given that switches everything including
permissions, that's just asking for someone to shoot themselves in the
foot with..
