Unlink registration from WP User

Hi guys,

I had a registration that tied to a WP User somehow. User integration settings were ‘off’, ‘off’, ‘subscriber’ for the event.

I don’t really use the user integration yet. I.e. no WP users are created with EE.

What happened was I noticed one of my WP Admins had the wrong name and email. Not thinking too much about it, I changed it back to what it should be manually through Users. Subsequently, I noticed that the registration information changed. It turns out that the registration is tied to that WP User for some reason.

How can I break this link or resolve otherwise?

Thanks,

Derek

Hi Derek,

You can follow this guide, but with one important change because in this case you’re unsyncing.

The change is that last line of code where it has this:
add_user_meta( $user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, true );

You’ll do this instead:
delete_user_meta( $user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value );

debug bar gives me an error 500, I have to go into my db and disable all plugins, then reactivate. Any alternatives?

An alternative is you add the code to your theme’s function.php file, save, then refresh a page on your website, then remove the code, then save the file again.

Another alternative is you install this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-meta-manager/

Then you use the User Meta Manager to delete the EE_Attendee_ID meta key/value for that user account.
