How to remove duplicate meta value in WP_User_Query


I have created a custom usermeta field named "designation" and fetched all its meta value in loop but it shows duplicates value. I have tried array_unique() function before loop and inside loop but does not work. Please guide me how can remove duplicates.

<form action="" method="post">
    <select name="designation" onchange="if(this.value != 0) && if(this.value != 1){ this.form.submit(); }">
        <option value="1">Select Category</option>
        <?php
        $args = array(
            'role' => 'subscriber',
            'meta_key' => 'user_designation'
        );

        $design = array_unique($args);      
        var_dump($design);

        // The Query
        $user_query = new WP_User_Query($design);


        // User Loop
        if ( !empty($user_query->results) ) {
            foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {


         ?>
                <option value="<?php  echo get_user_meta($user->ID, 'user_designation', true); ?>"
                    <?php if (isset($_POST['designation']) && $_POST['designation'] == "echo get_user_meta($user->ID, 'user_designation', true);") {echo "selected";} ?> >
                    <?php echo get_user_meta($user->ID, 'user_designation', true); ?>
                </option>
        <?php
            }
        } else {
        ?>
            <option value="0">No Category Found</option>
        <?php
                        }
                        ?>


                        </select>
                        </form>

Solution

  • Store the user meta in a variable and check if the variable is empty or not, like in below link-
