Set all site users as active

Chad Butler · Sep 26, 2018 ·

/**
 * A drop-in code snippet to set all users on the site as 
 * "activated" (when using the plugin's moderated registration
 * setting). All existing users on the site will be set as 
 * active without affecting passwords and no email will be sent.
 *
 * To Use:
 * 1. Save the code snippet to your theme's functions.php
 * 2. Go to Tools > Activate All Users.
 * 3. Follow prompts on screen.
 * 4. Remove the code snippet when completed.

Not sure what to do with this code?

You're not a "coder" and don't know what to do? Don't worry! Code Snippets are the basic building blocks of WordPress customization, and once you know the basics, they are simple to use.

Here are some free articles to get you started:

  • Using Code Snippets from the Site
  • Using a code snippets plugin
  • The functions.php File
  • Create a plugin file for custom functions
  • Create a child theme
  • Do not modify plugin files!

For "hands on" help, consider a plugin support subscription or the Pro Bundle.
