When admin approves/unapproves a user, WordPress automatically sends an email about the change.

Here I want to PREVENT it, I DON'T want to send these emails, is there any snippet to add in functions.php file as I did it for not sending password change emails,

if ( is_admin() )
    add_filter( 'send_password_change_email', '__return_false' );

  • Aren't you using a plugin via which you approve/desapprove a registered user?

This should overwrite the plugable function that sends the email.

if ( !function_exists('wp_new_user_notification') ) {
    function wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $plaintext_pass = '' ){}
}

  • Does it prevent emails when admin approves or disapproves a user account too?

  • How exactly are you approving or disaproving accounts? That's not a normal feature of WordPress.

  • am using a plugin 'profile builder' to do these, there is a module/addon 'User email customization' where I can customize the email, I disabled it. Now WordPress format emails are going. I need to stop these. @Jim Maguire

  • Actually it does work, I tested it. You need to either disable whatever plugins you are using, or make the question about the plugin.
