Approve new user send mail to another role wordpress
A WordPress question!
To approve a new user and send a welcome email to another role in WordPress, you can use the following steps:
Method 1: Using the WordPress Admin Dashboard
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard as an administrator.
- Go to Users > All Users.
- Find the new user you want to approve and click on their username.
- Click on the Edit button.
- In the Role dropdown menu, select the role you want to assign to the user (e.g., "Editor" or "Author").
- Click Update to save the changes.
- Go to Settings > General and scroll down to the New User Default Role setting.
- Select the role you want to send the welcome email to (e.g., "Subscriber").
- Click Save Changes.
Method 2: Using a Plugin
You can also use a plugin like User Role Editor or Role Manager to approve new users and send welcome emails to another role.
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to the plugin's settings page (e.g., User Role Editor > Settings).
- Configure the plugin to send a welcome email to the desired role when a new user is approved.
- Approve the new user as usual.
- The plugin will send a welcome email to the user with the specified role.
Method 3: Using Code
If you're comfortable with coding, you can use the following code snippet to approve a new user and send a welcome email to another role:
// Get the new user ID
$user_id = get_users(array('role' => 'new'))->ID;
// Approve the user
wp_update_user(array('ID' => $user_id, 'role' => 'editor')); // Replace 'editor' with the desired role
// Send a welcome email to the user with the specified role
wp_new_user_notification($user_id, 'editor'); // Replace 'editor' with the desired role
Add this code to your theme's functions.php
file or a custom plugin.
Remember to replace 'editor'
with the desired role in all three methods.
