Wordpress Add New User - Send an Activation Email

Question

I edited the Add New User Profile page to add some custom fields (I'm not using multisite). My question is if there is a way to send out an activation/confirmation email to new users once I manually add them in?

Thanks!

Answer 1

stackexchange and found this for you! But you have to create a php page and do a little work, if you are familiar with WordPress than you can do this simply. I hope this answers your question and I hope this helps!

Send automatic email to user after wp_create_user

Answer 2

If you add a new user via the backend a confirmation email is sent automatically, unless you check the skip checkbox. The new user shouldn't appear in the UI until confirmed

Solved it by adding this code to save_extra_profile_fields() in add_action ( 'user_register', 'save_extra_profile_fields');

$hash = md5( $random_number );
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'hash', $hash );

$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
$to = $user_info->user_email;           

$subject = 'Member Verification'; 
$message = 'Hello,';
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= 'Welcome...';
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= 'Username: '.$un;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= 'Password: '.$pw;
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= 'Please click this link to activate your account:';
$message .= home_url('/').'activate?id='.$un.'&key='.$hash;
$headers = 'From: noreply@test.com' . "\r\n";           
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
