Customize outgoing registration emails?

Hello!

This plugin is working great so far. Something I'd like to do is customize the emails that are sent out, but I can't find where in the PHP the emails are compiled.

Can somebody help with this?

Thanks so much!

We just hook into the standard WordPress core functionality that sends out the new user welcome email. We don't control the look and feel of that.

I'm going to try and post some code below.

This is a plugin that overrides the default wp_new_user_notification function. Place it in a folder in your plugins directory, customize it, and activate it. Works for me.

<?php

/*
Plugin Name: Registration Email Template
Author: Kory Mathis
Version: 1.0
Author URI: AUTHOR_URL
*/

// 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);

        if ( empty($plaintext_pass) )
            return;

        $message = sprintf(__("Welcome to %s! Here's how to log in:"), get_option('blogname')) . "\r\n\r\n";
        $message .= "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 us at EMAIL_ADDRESS.'), get_option('admin_email')) . "\r\n\r\n";
        $message .= __('Thanks!');

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

    }
}

?>

Note: I haven't been able to get HTML tags to work. Seems like it's set to plain text.

That worked for me John.
Thank you very much for sharing that with us.
Sad it won't take html, but it is fine for this kind of notification email.
All the best
