FAQ

Why is the Password not included in the Welcome Email?

Since version 4.3, the password is no longer sent to the user via email, and instead, a reset password link is sent. This was a controversial decision, but it was made for a good reason.

Worked with no issues as described. WP 6.3.1. Nice work!

This was just what is was looking for. I have a client portal system within a CRM. The registration process for user involved them getting the standard WP password reset email which is messy. I was easily able to change the wording to suite my requirements. Thanks so much for your work on this great plug in.

After doing some research about how to customize the new user welcome email, I was going to dig in and setup my own plugin. I found this plugin before I started and saved myself a good chunk of time–and it’s probably exactly what I would have created myself. Simple, perfect and allow me to do what I need to do (removed the login url and added some images and my own copy to the email). Thank you for publishing this so the rest of us can use it, too! FYI – if this isn’t working for you, you probably have theme or plugin conflicts. This is a very simple plugin.
