To change the contents of the email messages, you’d need to edit some files. Off hand, I don’t know which, but can find out if you need.
Currently there is no way to send an email when a user’s level is changed. This should be solved with a plugin when the next version of WordPress is released.
The emails sent by WordPress use the email account you define in Options->General.
If you could find out which files that would be great, thanks
I just checked in options>general and I’ve got the right address in there, but it’s sending the emails from my sendmail I think, so they are coming from nobody@myservername.
I’ve thought of a bit of a workaround for the rest of it though, but I need to get away from the computer to think about it!
What version of WordPress?
Is there a way of approving people before they get sent their password?
In 1.5 I had the same problem with newly registered email notification getting sent from my host providers system mail address rather than mine.
So to fix this:
in wp-includes/functions.php file after this line:
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0n" .
I added this line:
"From: " . get_settings('admin_email') . "n";
BTW: I wish I could tell you who (someone in the Forum) told me this but I can’t seem to find it right now. But here’s another reference: Topic 24981
As to 2nd question–there isn’t an approval process before people are sent a password when registering.
Thanks MichaelH (my dad signs himself that online, it gave me a shock!)
I found a plugin that might achieve what I’m looking for with the appproving users thing, I’ve had too much drink to install it now though lol
