Add address to password email

    Hi
    How can I have the email message containing user name & password sent by the plugin, to be sent also to the admin, not just to the new member’s email address?
    I could not find a way to add a recipient address in Settings> WP-Members Options.
    Currently only members get this email, and the admin has no way of telling which password was generated for the new member.
    Any ideas about how can the admin otherwise check on each member password? Currently the admin must assign a new password on the member data page but cannot see the existing password
    Thank you

    Passwords in WP (and other systems) are hashed for the user’s protection. Therefore, once a password is created, its plain text value is not retrievable.

    So if a user forgets their password, they can either use the password reset process which will email the user a new password, which they can then log in and change; or the admin can set a new password for the user (which the user could also log in and change).

    Thank you
    Is there a way to add a recipient address to the username & password email initially sent to the member ?

    You could add a recipient, a CC, or a BCC by filtering the headers. The plugin has a filter hook for the headers specific to the notification emails – wpmem_email_headers ( http://rkt.bz/jL ). The documentation on the wp_mail function has some info on CC/BCC headers.
