please help, I have to restrict some users based on the value of some metadata.for eg:if the account is not verified by admin(a metafield like "adminveri" will be zero), then the user should not login....please help me..

this is what i have done so far... add_filter('authenticate', 'check_login', 100, 3);

function check_login($user,$username,$password,$uid) 
{ 
 if(!empty($user)) $user_data=$user->data; 
 $adminveri=get_user_meta($uid,'admin_status');
$emailveri=get_user_meta($uid,'email_status'); 
if($adminveri[0]==0) or $emailveri[0]==0 ) 
{ 
return null;
} 
else 
{ 
return $user; 
} 
} 

this code dont allow anyone to login...Also what is the difference between add_filter and add_action?

Add the folowing to your themes's functions.php file.

add_action( 'wp_login', 'wpse_112895_validate_user', 10, 2 );

function wpse_112895_validate_user( $login, $user ) {
     $meta = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'adminveri', true );

     // not verified, log them out!
     if ( $meta != 0 )
         wp_logout();
}
