get approved users only ( ultimate member plugin )

Question

I am using UltimateMember and I have the settings configured that admin must approve registered users first. I now want to display the approved users meta information like faculty, email, etc. in the theme. So in this page template I've the following block of code to get all registered users information :

<?php
$args = array(
    'role' => 'contributor',
);

$users = get_users( $args );

foreach ( $users as $user ) {
    echo '<span>' . esc_html( $user->user_email ) . '</span>';
    echo '<span>' . esc_html( $user->faculty ) . '</span>';
    echo '<span>' . esc_html( $user->graduation_year ) . '</span>';
}

The problem is, that my code block is displaying all registered users information weather it is approved by admin or not.

Answer 1

I assume your WP settings is

1. New User Default Role = contributor

If yes, so this block of code shows all the contributor's with account_status = approved;

$args = array(
    'role'          =>  'contributor',
    'meta_key'      =>  'account_status',
    'meta_value'    =>  'approved'
);

$users = get_users($args);

foreach ($users as $user) {
   echo '<pre>';
   print_r( $user );
   echo '</pre>';
}
