Sync using user meta

    Hi, I am using User Meta Pro (which creates custom meta data in the wp_usermeta table).

    I have a custom field called “newsletter” which is just a checkbox.

    I want to use the filter provided in the plugin docs to sync only those who have checked that they want to receive newsletters.

    I believe the easiest way to do this is just by saying to sync where $newsletter is not empty:

    add_filter( 'mailchimp_sync_should_sync_user', function( $subscribe, $user ) {

    // check for custom user field
    if( !empty( $newsletter ) ) {
        return true;
    }

    // do not subscribe otherwise
    return false;
});

    However, this doesn’t seem to be working. In the “Status” pane in the backend I get 0/xxxx indicating to me that it does not find anyone matching those criteria.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Thank you.

    Where are you loading the custom user field into the $newsletter variable?
    I think you should find it somewhere in $user. Maybe you can dump $user and take a look in there?

    Hope that helps,

    Still not working, I played around with the code a bit using snippets from Github and currently have this:

    add_filter( 'mailchimp_sync_should_sync_user', function( $sync, $user ) {

    // create array of users 

    $subscribed = new WP_User_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'newsletter' ) );
	
    // check for custom user field

    if ( ! empty( $subscribed->results ) ) {
	foreach ( $subscribed->results as $user ) {
        	return $sync;
	}
    }

    // do not subscribe otherwise
    return false;
});

    I’ve also tried with $subscribe instead of $sync but it’s not working.

    I dumped the contents of my array in a test, and it does return the users that have subscribed, so the plugin should be finding them… I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong exactly.
