Hi,

You kindly provided me with some code to help manage emails with user-meta (username: Endcliffe).  I have been trying to reply to you but there’s a problem with the support forums on your site:

 “Sorry, we can’t find the content you’re looking for at this URL. Please try selecting a menu item from above or to the side of this message to get where you’d like to go.  ”

 Thanks very much for your help – the extra code does almost everything that I need.  I am tweaking it to deal with my specific additional requirements but just have one more quick question – can you tell me how to extract a custom meta field so that I can do a substitution in the emails?  For example, I have a custom field with meta name “instrument” and I want to substitute occurrences of %INSTRUMENT% in the email text with the value of this meta field.  Could you give me a code snippet that will extract the appropriate value from the database?

 Thanks again for your help – you have been very helpful.  If there’s anything I can do to support your development (eg. Testimonial) then please let me know.

Thanks for your reply. I’m not a WordPress developer so coding an action as you suggest is not easy for me.

I searched for a plug-in that might do what I want and I found “SB Welcome Email Editor” which is perfect – it allows me to customise the new subscriber email and also send a message to the administrator to notify new subscribers. However, it doesn’t seem to work with your plug-in, and in fact now that I have both your plug-in and this “SB Welcome Email Editor” a new user no longer receives the default email that was working prior to installing the latter plug-in.

Can you tell me if there’s a way to make this “SB Welcome Email Editor” and your plug-in compatible, or alternatively suggest another way (perhaps another existing plug-in) that will enable me to (a) customise the new user registration email and (b) setup an administrator alert email?

It seems that as a future enhancement to your plugin it might be better to integrate this functionality, in which case you could add an easy way for the values of the custom user fields to appear in the email messages.

Thanks

I didn’t want to do that in case I would lose the fields and forms I had already created. However, I’ve done it now and upgraded and all is well.

Thanks for your prompt reply
