Email verification doesn't work... about vip-support HOT 3 CLOSED

You can only validate the user you are authenticated as.

Perhaps I should add a CLI command to authenticate a user, on the basis that if you're running a CLI command you're either so far inside the perimeter that we're in trouble OR you're an authorised admin.

What do you think, @nickdaugherty @joshbetz @seanosh?

Who else exactly do you think I'm trying to authenticate as? ;)

Add a CLI command to what, though? Where/how would such a command be executed? Ideally it'd be wp-cli so we're not re-inventing some CLI wheel here, but that won't work until the require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); is moved to the bottom of wp-config.php vs. where it is now.

Also - this plugin switched the role of one of the users on a site to "VIP Support" (or the user received the email and clicking the link worked for them). I think it's a bit dangerous to assume just because you have an @automattic.com or @a8c.com address that you should be in the VIP Support role (and I mentioned this in Slack).

Closing as #38 fixed this. cc @simonwheatley
