I have an addon available for purchase that gives you more control over who gets the admin emails (https://newuserapprove.com).

That plugin is just using filters so it can be done without the addon.

This code would need to be added to a separate plugin or to your theme:

function email_admin( $to ) {
    // add more email addresses
    $to[] = '[email protected]';

    return $to;
}
add_filter( 'new_user_approve_email_admins', 'email_admins' );

Yes. It is best to use a child theme if it is possible. You have the right idea though. In any case, it is a good way to see if it works as you would like.

That’s not good. Does this same behavior happen when it is the only plugin that is active?

Sorry about that. Here is a code sample to do what you wanted.

/**
 * Modify the contents of the message sent to the admin when a user signs up.
 *
 * @param $message The default message.
 * @return string the updated message.
 */
function my_custom_message( $message ) {
	$new_message = 'USERNAME (USEREMAIL) has requested a username at SITENAME' . "\n\n";
	$new_message .= "SITEURL\n\n";
	$new_message .= 'To approve or deny this user access to SITENAME go to' . "\n\n";
	$new_message .= "ADMINURL\n\n";

        return new_message;
}

// modify the message sent to the admin
add_filter( 'new_user_approve_request_approval_message_default', 'my_custom_message' );

That’s good to hear. Thanks for letting us know.

Here is what you’d want to do:

/**
 * Modify the message sent to a user after being approved.
 *
 * @param $message The default message.
 * @param $user The user who will receive the message.
 * @return string the updated message.
 */
function my_custom_message( $message, $user ) {
    $message = 'Custom message here';

    return $message;
}
// add a new custom approval message
add_filter( 'new_user_approve_approve_user_message', 'my_custom_message', 10, 2 );

// add a new custom denial message
// use this for a denied user
//add_filter( 'new_user_approve_deny_user_message', 'my_custom_message', 10, 2 );

You don’t have to hack core to do this. You can add a filter to your functions.php file or a separate plugin.

This code will turn it off for you:

/*
 * Don't reset password. This filter is useful if your site allows new
 * users to set their own password.
 */
add_filter( 'new_user_approve_do_password_reset', '__return_false' );

Not a bad idea. I’ll consider it for an upcoming release.

It’s acting like the cache isn’t being updated. Did this just happen for you once or does it happen consistently? Do you have a lot of users on your site? Are you using a caching plugin?

That plugin does not make it possible to disable the email sent with the login info.

BuddyPress is not yet supported.

You can add it to your functions.php file in your current theme. That is the easiest way to do it. I would not recommend modifying the plugin code as that will update and your changes will get lost.

What plugin are you using for the registration form?

If a user does not have a status, it is probably because that user registered when the NUA plugin was not activated. They are approved if no status is in the meta table.

Here is a code snippet from the plugin that you might find helpful:

if ( $status != 'approved' ) {
     // Query the users table
     $query = array( 'meta_key' => 'pw_user_status', 'meta_value' => $status, );
     $wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query( $query );
} else {
     // get all approved users and any user without a status
     $query = array( 'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'pw_user_status', 'value' => 'approved', 'compare' => '=' ), array( 'key' => 'pw_user_status', 'value' => '', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ), ), );
     $wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query( $query );
}

Do you mind sharing the site with me where the problem is occurring?
