### 󠀁[For anyone running into emailing notification issues…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/for-anyone-running-into-emailing-notification-issues/)󠁿

Wasn’t getting email notifications when a message was sent to inbox. Found in send-
page.php (plugins/pm4wp/inc/send-page.php) the following code… $recipient_email 
= $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT user_email from $wpdb->users WHERE display_name = '$rec'");…
on line 120 needed to be changed with… $recipient_email = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT
user_email from $wpdb->users WHERE user_login = '$rec'" ); …as it was trying to 
pull with username, not display name. Hope this helps anyone running into the same
issue.
