There are several emails that may go to users.  These include:

• New Registration – notifies the user that they have successfully registered.
• Registration is Moderated – notifies the user that their registration is pending admin approval.
• Registration is Moderated, User is Approved – notifies the user their pending registration is now approved.
• Password Reset – email to send a new password to a user that forgot their password.
• Admin Notification – email to admin notifying them of each newly registered user.
• Email Signature – a footer or signature placed at the bottom of each of the above emails.

In addition to being able to set custom static content in these emails via the plugin’s admin panel, there are also filter hooks for each email sent out.  Filter hooks allow you to filter the email that is sent and also to add/subtract content from the email based on additional criteria.  The following filter hooks are available for email content:

• wpmem_email_filter (powerful, all-encompassing filter for all but the admin notification email. see documentation for a list of all parameters the filter handles)
• wpmem_email_newreg
• wpmem_email_newmod
• wpmem_email_appmod
• wpmem_email_repass
• wpmem_email_notify
• wpmem_email_headers
• wpmem_email_shortcodes
• wpmem_notify_addr (changes the admin notification email address programmatically – can be used for different email addresses as well as multiple recipients)
• wpmem_notify_filter (admin notification email filter equivalent to wpmem_email_filter)

Using the plugin’s administration panel, you may customize the content of the email messages that are sent by the plugin.

Note: only the emails relevant to your settings will display in the admin panel.  For example, if you are not moderating registrations, the email for an admin approved registration will not display since you do not use it.

Email Troubleshooting

In order to keep things on the front end of the site where things are wrapped in your theme (as opposed to the WP back-end), the plugin allows you to set an area for registered users to manage their settings, change their password, and also reset a forgotten password.

Setting this page up is exactly like setting up a registration page, covered in the section on Registration.

Creating a User Profile Area

The User Profile is a page where logged in users can update their profile information and change their password.  Also on this page, a logged out user can have a forgotten password reset.  Create a new page and place the following shortcode in the body:

[wpmem_profile]

Note: If you have set the plugin to block pages by default, you should set this page to be unblocked.

User Profile Location

Once you create the User Profile page as outlined above, it is available as a page in your WP installation to be added to menus in the same way you handle other pages.  This is dependent upon you and your theme, and whether you display all pages in a default menu.

In the plugin’s main options tab there is a setting for you to select the user profile page.  This tells the plugin where the page is and uses this to generate a “Forgot Password” link in the login forms. It is also used to generate the return link in the password reset.

The plugin can be run without using the registration forms.

For users that might have some other method of registration, up to and including private blogs that don’t want anyone registering and thus sending invited users login information.  In this case, complete the following based on your specific setup needs:

• Uncheck the options to display registration in Options > Content > Show Registration Form.
• Do not establish a registration page for the plugin (shortcode [wpmem_form register]), and make sure Options > Pages > Register Page is unset.
• Add the register=hide attribute to the [wpmem_profile] shortcode.

IMPORTANT:

This is not the same as turning off registration for WordPress itself. That is a separate issue.  This is simply a setting to remove the WP-Members registration forms from display.

If you would like a specific registration page to direct users to register, create a new page with the following shortcode in the body of the page:

[wpmem_form register]

Note: If you have set the plugin to block pages by default, you will need to set this page to be unblocked.

Registration Page Location

Once you create the registration page as outlined above, it is available as a page in your WP installation to be added to menus in the same way you handle other pages.  This is dependent upon you and your theme, and whether you display all pages in a default menu.

WP-Members™ has an option setting for you to enter the URL of your registration page.  This is optional and does not effect the functioning of your registration page.  It merely provides the plugin with knowing where the page is and uses this to generate a “Register” link in the login forms.
