I always prefer to check if the variable ($user) is empty or not before echoing any properties of the $user object:
$user = get_user_by( ’email’, ‘user@example.com’ );
if ( ! empty( $user ) ) {
echo ‘User is ‘ . $user->first_name . ‘ ‘ . $user->last_name;
}
This is to keep things clean and prevent error messages and warnings.
If you want to get the user id from user loginname.
$user = get_user_by('login','loginname'); if($user) { echo $user->ID; }get_user_by('login', $user_login)is case sensitive. Which means
get_user_by('login', "UserName")would not match any users with like
