   Hi, I wanted to enable the user registration on my site, but I'm wondering if there's a plugin or hack so that those who do register, get approval BEFORE getting the email and password. If you need any further clarifications please let me know and thanks for the help anyone!

   I don't know of a method yet, but you can be rest assured that newly registered users won't be able to do much. They are created with a user level of 0. As user level of 0 can login, edit their own profile, and see the Dashboard, Users/Your Profile, and the existing posts. That is all they can do.

   I decided to compile links to all of the threads on this topic and post them on all of the threads on the topic. Maybe this will spark an idea for someone.

   See these threads:

   These (below) might also sort of help.

   I found a solution that worked for me. Instead of having the email with the username and password be sent to the registrant, I tweaked it so that it comes to me. If I want to approve the user I then just forward the email on to the user. Here is a summary of what I changed:

   In wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php

   I changed this function on line 427 or so from this:

   wp_mail($user_email, sprintf(__('[%s] Your username and password'), get_settings('blogname')), $message);

   To this:

   wp_mail('webmaster@mydomain', sprintf(__('[%s] Your username and password'), get_settings('blogname')), $message);

   So the user does not get their username and password without me sending it to them. This could probably be turned into a plugin pretty easily...and would do it when I have some time.

   Hi kwesitn, I have to say thankl you for this Approval system - I have looked for a plugin that did this with no luck.

   Then I found this thread and VIOLA! You fixed my problem - thanks for a great solution

   Kwesitn:

   Thanks for your post about sending authorising email to admin for forwarding to actual registrant. I pasted your line of code, changed the receiving address and it worked beautifully.
