How can disable wordpress emails notifications?-CodePudding

I want to modularly disable emails sent out by WordPress so I can replace them with my own custom emails when necessary.

This is my custom Welcome Email:

  function send_welcome_email_to_new_user($user_id) {
    $user = get_userdata($user_id);
    $user_email = $user->user_email;
    // for simplicity, lets assume that user has typed their first and last name when they sign up
    $user_full_name = $user->user_firstname . $user->user_lastname;

    // Now we are ready to build our welcome email
    $to = $user_email;
    $subject = "Hi " . $user_full_name . ", welcome to our site!";
    $body = '
              <h1>Dear ' . $user_full_name . ',</h1></br>
              <p>Thank you for joining our site. Your account is now active.</p>
              <p>Please go ahead and navigate around your account.</p>
              <p>Let me know if you have further questions, I am here to help.</p>
              <p>Enjoy the rest of your day!</p>
              <p>Kind Regards,</p>
              <p>poanchen&lt;/p>
    ';
    $headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
    if (wp_mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
      error_log("email has been successfully sent to user whose email is " . $user_email);
    }else{
      error_log("email failed to sent to user whose email is " . $user_email);
    }
  }

When I create a new user, I got 2 email notification: my own custom email and wordpress default email. I want to hide the wordpress default email from the inbox.

How can I disable WordPress emails notifications to achieve this?

Thank you for signing up/New User registration email

CodePudding user response：

To disable WordPress default emails notifications

Please edit the function.php file and add the following code

<?php
//Disable the new user notification sent to the site admin
function wp_disable_new_user_notifications() {
//Remove original use created emails
remove_action( ‘register_new_user’, ‘wp_send_new_user_notifications’ );
remove_action( ‘edit_user_created_user’, ‘wp_send_new_user_notifications’, 10, 2 );

}

then

add_action( ‘init’, ‘wp_disable_new_user_notifications’ );

However, please be careful in using the above so that the remove_action will not affect any other functionalities you may wish to use in WP

Instead of creating an another email for the same, you can also customize WordPress default emails using wp_new_user_notification() function.

add_filter( 'wp_new_user_notification_email', 'custom_wp_new_user_notification_email', 10, 3 );
function custom_wp_new_user_notification_email( 
  $wp_new_user_notification_email, $user, $blogname ) {
  $user_first_name = stripslashes( $user->first_name );
  $user_last_name = stripslashes( $user->last_name );
  $user_full_name = $user_first_name .' '.  $user_last_name;
  $user_email = stripslashes( $user->user_email );
  $wp_new_user_notification_email['subject'] = "Hi " . $user_full_name . ", welcome to our site!";
  
  $message = '
          <h1>Dear ' . $user_full_name . ',</h1></br>
          <p>Thank you for joining our site. Your account is now active. 
          </p>
          <p>Please go ahead and navigate around your account.</p>
          <p>Let me know if you have further questions, I am here to help.

          <p>Enjoy the rest of your day!</p>
          <p>Kind Regards,</p>
          <p>poanchen&lt;/p>
  ';
  return $wp_new_user_notification_email;
}
