E-Mail Notification of Password

It’s function wp_new_user_notification in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php, which is nice, because that means you can re-declare the function wp_new_user_notification in a plugin to do what you want.

Was this the case in 1.5.2 by chance? I can’t seem to find the function.

No, it was not the case in 1.5.2. That function did not exist.

For WP 1.5.2, how is the text decided? Because the default is:

User:
Password:

And then a nasty convoluted hyperlink to the login page. I’d like to change the hyperlink to make it pretty.

I’m bringing this up again because it’s a really crucial part of the admin I’d like to edit.

Does anyone know where the function is that controls how the registration e-mails look?

I’m using WP 1.5.2

Look around line 80 in wp-register.php.

Also consider upgrading to at least 1.5.3.

Please make copies of files (scripts) before changing them.

Is it the $message lines?

Also, I might actually be on 1.5.3 I’ll have to check.

I just know I’m not at the point where the function is in the pluggable functions.

I figured it out… How would I just add a line to the message that says, “Visit my blog at My Website“

Right now, the language for lines of the e-mail are:

$message .= sprintf(__(‘Password: %s’), $password) . “\r\n”;

Any ideas? I’m aaaaaalmost there ??

There are more lines writing the text of the email than just that one.

But using it as an example:

$message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $password) . "rn Visit my blog at http//mydomain.com/ rn";

Might work?

well so much for using backticks to preserv code… those rn’s should be \r\n of course.

Handy-

Eep, I’m confused some more… Can you repost that code with the proper rn syntax?

Also, the password stuff shouldn’t be on there, right?

yes, the password stuff should still be there if you want your newly registered user to know it…

I mean the password stuff is on another line… should I have it on this one too?

In total, the e-mail message block of code looks kind of like:

$message .= sprintf(__(‘Username: %s’), $username) . “\r\n”;

$message .= sprintf(__(‘Password: %s’), $password) . “\r\n”;

$message .= sprintf(__(‘Website:’), . “a bunch of stuff i don’t recognize\r\n”;

The end result e-mail looks like:

Username: Jefferson
Password: 2kss9a
https://www.mywholewebsite.com/nastyurl/stuffidontwantthemtosee/wp-login.php

I’d like it to look like:

Username: Jefferson
Password: 2kss9a

You can login at: “www.mywebsite.com”

So I just need to change that last line of code out of those 3, but I’m wondering what I need to change it to, exactly.

Any help is great, Han!
