User Contributions

The Contributions view shows a paginated list of wiki pages that a specific user has created or edited. It is used in BuddyPress and PeepSo profile tabs and is also accessible from the standalone wiki dashboard.

What the Contributions View Shows

At the top of the view, a stats bar displays the user’s contribution summary:

• Pages created - total number of wiki pages the user created
• Pages edited - total number of wiki pages the user has contributed to (including pages created by others)

Below the stats, the list is filterable by two tabs:

Tab	What it shows
All Contributions	All published pages the user has contributed to (created or edited)
Created	Only pages where the user is the original author

Each list item shows:

• Lock icon if the page is protected (admin-only editing)
• Page title linked to the full wiki page
• “creator” badge if the viewing user originally created this page
• Excerpt (up to 20 words, if a custom excerpt exists)
• Last updated time in relative format
• Category names the page belongs to
• View button (always shown)
• Edit button (shown only to the owner of the profile, if they have edit permission)

Accessing Your Own Contributions

If you are viewing your own contributions, a Create New Page button appears (if you have create permission) and a Wiki Dashboard link. These are not shown when viewing another user’s contributions.

Accessing Contributions

Via the dashboard

?wbmw_action=contributions&user=5

Replace 5 with the user ID whose contributions you want to view.

In BuddyPress / PeepSo

When using BuddyPress or PeepSo, a Wiki tab appears on member profile pages automatically and loads this view for the profile owner.

Filtering

Switch between “All Contributions” and “Created” by appending wiki_filter to the current URL:

?wbmw_action=contributions&user=5&wiki_filter=all
?wbmw_action=contributions&user=5&wiki_filter=created

Pagination

Results are paginated using the Pages Per Page setting from General Settings (default: 10). Navigate pages with:

?wiki_paged=2

Developer Hooks

Two hooks fire within the contributions template:

wbmw_before_contributions

Fires before the contributions list is rendered.

add_action( 'wbmw_before_contributions', function( $user_id, $query ) {
    // Example: show a custom message for new contributors
    if ( $query->found_posts === 0 ) {
        echo '<div class="notice">Welcome! Start contributing to the wiki.</div>';
    }
}, 10, 2 );

Parameter	Type	Description
$user_id	int	User ID whose contributions are displayed
$query	WP_Query	The query object for the contributions list

wbmw_after_contributions

Fires after the contributions list is rendered.

add_action( 'wbmw_after_contributions', function( $user_id, $query ) {
    // Example: add a link to external profile
}, 10, 2 );

Parameter	Type	Description
$user_id	int	User ID whose contributions are displayed
$query	WP_Query	The query object for the contributions list

Technical Notes

The “All Contributions” query finds pages where the user’s ID is stored in the _wbmw_contributors post meta array. The query uses a SQL LIKE search followed by PHP-side verification to avoid serialization false positives from partial integer matches.

The “Created” filter uses a standard author WP_Query argument.
