Change default new user registration mail in wordpress

The default new user registration email in WordPress is quite basic, isn't it? Let's customize it to make it more personalized and engaging!

To change the default new user registration email in WordPress, you'll need to use a plugin or modify the code in your theme's functions.php file. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using a Plugin

1. Install and activate the "User Registration" plugin (available in the WordPress Plugin Directory).
2. Go to Settings > User Registration > Email Settings.
3. In the "New User Registration Email" section, you can customize the email content using the available placeholders (e.g., {username}, {password}, {site_url}, etc.).
4. Click "Save Changes" to apply the updates.

Method 2: Modifying the Code

1. Open your theme's functions.php file (usually located in the wp-content/themes/your-theme directory).
2. Add the following code to the file:

   function custom_new_user_registration_email($user_id) {
    $user = get_userdata($user_id);
    $site_url = get_option('site_url');
    $username = $user->data->user_login;
    $password = wp_generate_password(12, false);
    $email_subject = 'Welcome to '. get_bloginfo('name');
    $email_body = '<p>Hello '. $username. ',</p><p>Thank you for registering on '. get_bloginfo('name'). '.</p><p>Your username is '. $username. ' and your password is '. $password. '.</p><p>Best regards, '. get_bloginfo('name'). ' Team.</p>';
    wp_mail($user->data->user_email, $email_subject, $email_body);
   }
   add_action('user_register', 'custom_new_user_registration_email');

3. Save the changes to the functions.php file.
4. Go to Settings > General and click the "Save Changes" button to apply the updates.

Method 3: Using a Theme Function

1. Open your theme's functions.php file (usually located in the wp-content/themes/your-theme directory).
2. Add the following code to the file:

   function custom_new_user_registration_email($user_id) {
    // Your custom email content goes here
    $email_body = '<p>Hello '. $username. ',</p><p>Thank you for registering on '. get_bloginfo('name'). '.</p><p>Your username is '. $username. ' and your password is '. $password. '.</p><p>Best regards, '. get_bloginfo('name'). ' Team.</p>';
    wp_mail($user->data->user_email, $email_subject, $email_body);
   }
   add_action('user_register', 'custom_new_user_registration_email');

3. Save the changes to the functions.php file.
4. Go to Settings > General and click the "Save Changes" button to apply the updates.

In all cases, make sure to customize the email content to fit your needs and branding. You can use placeholders like {username}, {password}, {site_url}, etc. to include dynamic information in the email.

Remember to test the email by registering a new user to ensure the changes are working as expected.
