First_name last_name not in new user notification

Hi @designerswork,
Thanks for your message.

Yes, that’s correct. Most post meta changes (or data added to custom fields on a user’s profile) occur after the initial user has been created and the point at which the notification is sent.

You should be able to disable the New User Registration – For User notification and use the Post-registration Email instead to do this instead though.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks,
Jack

Hello,
i have exact the same problem with “New User Registration – For Admin”.
I don’t know if a solution has been found for the original asker, but in my case the “Post-registration Email” cannot solve the issue, because i need to send this notification to another recipient, than the new user.
And i cannot add a CC or a different recipient for this type of notification.

So is there any other workaround to send new user’s firstname and lastname data to admin or to a customly selected specific user?

Thank you for your reply in advance!

Hi @gege_hun,
You should be able to use the user shortcodes in the New User Registration – For Admin notification, as per the Shortcodes documentation page.

Is this what you were looking for?

Hello bnfw,
first of all thank you for your time to reply.

I tried to use the shortcodes given in documentation page, but the value given back by the shortcode is always the following:

Shortcodes:
– “[email_user_firstname]” =>
shows my account’s firstname, not the current new registrant’s firstname

(i’m in the SendTo field.)
– “[email_user_lastname]” => shows my account’s lastname, not the current new registrant’s lastname (i’m in the SendTo field.)
– “[email_user_display_name]” => shows user’s username
– “[email_user_nicename]” => shows user’s username

also tried (from Author Shortcodes, but logically it’s not the proper choose…just a try):

– “[user_firstname]” => remains empty, shows nothing
– “[user_lastname]” => remains empty, shows nothing

+Info
I use Ultimate Meber plugin for user registration form and for user profiles…

Thank you for any idea!

Hi @gege_hun,
Does it work correctly if you create a new user manually through the WP admin?

Hello,
thanks for the suggestion.
i’ll make a test and give you a feedback.

Hello,
i’ve made some tests.
Currently i’m not understanding the situation.
If i make a new registration through admin backend, i don’t receive the new user admin notification. The system sends out the new user notification to the new registrant test user’s email address, but to the admin email only a default wordpress notification arrives with the new user’ username and 2 links about login and password change.

Hi @gege_hun,
Does BNFW work if you create a new user from the WP Admin when Ultimate Member is disabled?
