#1 Notify an administrator and the user.

Suppose, when registering a user, you need to notify yourself (you are the admin) and send an email to the new user by email with a link to set a new password:

$new_user_id = 8;

wp_new_user_notification( $new_user_id, 'both' );

In the result, the admin will get an email:
