Adding user meta values to Wordpress admin emails - php

Question

When a new user registers on our website, they are required to fill out their company information. This information is stored in the _usermeta table with the meta_key 'company'.
All I want to do is include this information in the notification email that Wordpress sends to the site administrator. I have had some luck manipulating pluggables.php (where the default email code is located), but I can't get any meta values to send in the email.
Here is my current code:
function wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $plaintext_pass = '') {
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
$user_meta = get_user_meta( $user_id );
$company = $user_meta['company'][0];
// The blogname option is escaped with esc_html on the way into the database in sanitize_option
// we want to reverse this for the plain text arena of emails.
$blogname = wp_specialchars_decode(get_option('blogname'), ENT_QUOTES);
$message = sprintf(__('New user registration on your site %s:'), $blogname) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('Name: %s'), $user->display_name) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('E-mail: %s'), $user->user_email) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('Company: %s'), $company) . "\r\n";
#wp_mail(get_option('admin_email'), sprintf(__('[%s] New User Registration'), $blogname), $message);
The code outputs:
New user registration on your site mywebsite
Name: firstname lastname
E-mail: email#example.com
Company:
I have included get_user_meta() and get_metadata() but the value is always blank.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I figured out the issue. The plugin I use to create new users (profile press) was posting the new user, triggering wp_new_user_notification, THEN adding custom values to the meta table. I moved the meta table function above wp_new_user_notification and the data is transferring as expected. Should anyone else run into this issue, here is how to solve it:
In wp-includes/pluggable.php, the following works as expected:
$company = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'company', true );
$message .= sprintf(__('Company: %s'), $company) . "\r\n";
As for profile press, navigate to wp-content/plugins/profilepress/classes/class-registration-form-auth.php and put:
// register custom profile field
if ( ! is_wp_error($user_id)) {
.
//truncated
.
do_action('pp_after_custom_field_update', $key, $value, $user_id, 'registration');
}
}
above:
if (is_int($user_id) && 'enable' == $new_user_notification) {
wp_new_user_notification($user_id, null, 'admin');
}
Hope this helps anyone else who has similar issues. Special thanks to #RaunakGupta for pointing me in the direction and credit to profile press for their code.
