How can I get the Organisers email from the database?

[stehen haywood]

I’m trying to set up a future event notification and need the organizers email, but I cannot find any reference to it in the WP database. What table would it be in also.

Can anyone please help as my knowledge of MYSQL and PHP is very limited as it is. This is driving me crazy.

From ‘organizer.php’ I see that there is $filtered_email & $unfiltered_email

Ok, I found that the details I need are in the API. I can extract it using the url, e.g. (../wp-json/tribe/events/v1/organizers/2187) but I need to do that using php. Remembering that I just need the email.

Hi, Stephen. Thanks for your detailed request.

Finding things via the REST API is resourceful (so kudos!) but not the best way unless you’re talking from SiteA to SiteB. Within a single site, you should just use PHP.

Our plugins utilize WordPress standards (custom post types and postmeta).

To get the email for an Organizer with Post ID 281, you would do this:

$email = get_post_meta( 281, '_OrganizerEmail', true );

Once you have that, you might want to run it through sanitize_email() and then pass it to some part of wp_mail() — or just display it somewhere.

Hopefully this helps!

Please let me know how this goes for you.
