How do I edit the user confirmation email? WordPress

Ross Wilson answers:

There is a good plugin for editing the emails: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-better-emails/

I haven't tried it, but the original e-mail is setup as a filter. Try adding something like this to your functions.php


function new_welcome_user_msg_filter( $text ) {
if ( !$text ) {
return __( 'Dear User,

Your new account is set up.

You can log in with the following information:
Username: USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
LOGINLINK

Thanks!

--The Team @ SITE_NAME' );
}
return $text;
}
add_filter( 'new_user_email_content', 'new_welcome_user_msg_filter' );


Thanks to John below for correcting my filter name :)

You can try this function which is working great. Add it in your functions.php file

// Redefine user notification function
if ( !function_exists('wp_new_user_notification') ) {
function wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $plaintext_pass = '' ) {
$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$user_login = stripslashes($user->user_login);
$user_email = stripslashes($user->user_email);

$message = sprintf(__('New user registration on your blog %s:'), get_option('blogname')) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('E-mail: %s'), $user_email) . "\r\n";

@wp_mail(get_option('admin_email'), sprintf(__('[%s] New User Registration'), get_option('blogname')), $message);

if ( empty($plaintext_pass) )
return;

$message = __('Hi there,') . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__("Welcome to %s! Here's how to log in:"), get_option('blogname')) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= wp_login_url() . "\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $plaintext_pass) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= sprintf(__('If you have any problems, please contact me at %s.'), get_option('admin_email')) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= __('Adios!');

wp_mail($user_email, sprintf(__('[%s] Your username and password'), get_option('blogname')), $message);

}
}

John Cotton answers:

Ross is almost correct...

The filter line should read:

add_filter( 'new_user_email_content', 'new_welcome_user_msg_filter' );

Julio Potier answers:

Viruthagiri Thirumavalavan got the right answer.
@Ross, your filter is used to email address changed, not user confirmation email.

Gabriel Reguly answers:

Hi LeTune,

Maybe you are looking for a database entry, in a multisite install you should search meta_key <em>welcome_user_email</em> inside table <em>wp_sitemeta</em>.

Otherwise you can change function wp_new_user_notification(), which is located in wp-includes/pluggable.php.
