I am using WordPress to create a recruitment site with subscription. This is what I did. Added a meta value for user role 'rec' which is a date of ending of subscription.

All worked fine.

But when recruiter searches from the form it ads ?as=something as the query string.

I want my url structure to be like this 

/recruitment/?uid=4&as=it

uid is the User ID of a recruiter, it is being used to get the meta of date from user's data to find out if user can see this page or not. ?as=something is search string.

Right now whatever I add in the action of form when a user searches the url becomes 

/recruitment/?as=it

What I did was I added the code like this in search form. 

<form method="get" id="sul-searchform" action="<?php the_permalink() ?>&uid=<?php echo $my_uid;?>" class="wg_search">

Any help would be appreciated.

  • LOL Sometimes I act dumb. '<?php $my_uid = get_current_user_id(); ?> ' Solved it through current user ID. There was no need of adding an extra query string. – Ahmad Awais May 4 '14 at 16:38

You should use 'add_query_arg' function, to do this.

It adds a single key & value or an associative array. You can set a key value to false to remove it from the query. Omitting the old query or the uri (second or third parameter) uses the $_SERVER value.

So in your case doing it like this should work:

... action="<?php echo add_query_arg( 'uid', get_current_user_id(), get_permalink() ); ?>" ...
