Multiple Email Addresses, One User

Question

I'm trying to allow a user to have multiple email addresses associated with their account. update_user_meta() will not work because it will overwrite the current email. add_user_meta() wouldn't work either because it would duplicate the entry, even if it is the same email address.. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can use update_user_meta() and add_user_meta(), just store all the email addresses in an array in a new field. If you have a requirement, such as preventing duplicates, run a validation function that checks for that before updating the database.
