I want to do a test mailing in my staging area, to see if a new WP plugin works for BBpress. In order to do this, i want to change all emails to my personal email address for all that are subscribed to the forum (so i don't accidentally send out mails to real users). The problem is that the WP user email is found in the DB wp_users and the forum meta info is found in the DB wp_usermeta. What SQL statement would i use if i wanted to change the email of all bbpress "Participants" to "myemail@email.com". I want to do something like:
UPDATE wp_users SET user_email = "myemail@email.com" WHERE wp_usermeta.meta_key = "participant";
With help from a collegue, this is the solution:
update wp_users
set wp_users.user_email = "myemail@email.com"
where
wp_users.ID IN (
select
wp_usermeta.user_id
from wp_usermeta
where (wp_usermeta.meta_key = "wp_capabilities") && (wp_usermeta.meta_value like
"%bbp_participant%")
)
;
