 * Hey there,
 * In backend as an admin user I created a new user.
    I have an issue after editing
   a new user in wordpress backend, Users > Edit user;
 * It throws warnings:
 *     ```

 * After creating a new user it seems variable’s $mail value doesn’t exist;
 * Code in marketpress.php:
    `$email = (!empty($_SESSION['mp_billing_info']['email']))?
   $_SESSION['mp_billing_info']['email'] : $meta['email'];`
 * So there is a need to assign it. I rewrite above line as this:
 *     ```
       if (!empty($_SESSION['mp_billing_info']['email'])) {
               $email = $_SESSION['mp_billing_info']['email'];
           } else {
               if (!empty($meta['email'])) {
                   $email = $meta['email'];
               } else {
                   $email = '';
               }
           }
       ```
   
 * we need to take care for $name, $address1, $address2, $city, $state, $zip, $country
   as well.
