Registration/Lost Password Email Content

    I’m trying to find where I can change the text only of the registration/lost password emails that get sent out automatically by WordPress.

    I’ve read a LOT of suggestions on downloading plugins or creating new functions, but the ONLY thing I’d like to do is change the text of the emails, example:
    Someone (hopefully you) has used this email to register (…)
    changes to
    Thank you for registering (…)

    Any help on finding where WordPress stores this text?

    I realize this should be a simple field or set of fields in the WordPress Admin, but it’s not. There is simply no way to do this in WordPress without digging into the code a bit or using a plugin.

    If you’re not the coding type use a plugin (there are several out there).

    If you’re feeling nerdy, you can create your own plugin for modifying the content (and more if you want) of these standard WordPress notification emails. There’s a wonderful tutorial on Tuts+ here: https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creating-customized-comment-emails-building-a-plugin–wp-28681

    Thanks for the reply!

    I was actually wondering where it would be in the code. I have no issues with modifying code, but despite all my research, I can’t seem to find how/where WordPress generates the text for these emails.
