wp_new_user_notification() │ WP 2.0.0
Notifies by email the site administrator about new user registration, and sends the user an email with a login and password.
Pluggable function — this function can be replaced from a plugin. It means that this function is defined (works) only after all plugins are loaded (included), but before this moment this function has not defined. Therefore, you cannot call this and all functions depended on this function directly from a plugin code. They need to be called on plugins_loaded hook or later, for example on init hook.
Function replacement (override) — in must-use or regular plugin you can create a function with the same name, then it will replace this function.
Return
null. Nothing (null).
Usage
wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $deprecated, $notify );
$user_id(int) (required)
User ID.
$deprecated(null)
Not used (argument deprecated).Default: null
$notify(string)
Type of notification that should happen. Accepts 'admin' or an empty string (admin only), 'user' , or 'both' (admin and user).Default: ''
Examples
#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:
New user registration on your site Example:
Username: user
Email: [email protected]
The user will get:
Username: user
To set your password, visit the following address:
<http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=1ORsgCiUtZdwDw3tss4U&login=user>
http://example.com/wp-login.php
