New User Verification Feature in LoginPress

LoginPress has introduced a New User Verification feature that allows site admins to verify requests for new user registrations on the site. The LoginPress New User Verification feature introduces a simple yet powerful way for site administrators to control new user registrations.

Using this feature, the site admin has the power to approve or deny a user registration request based on preferences, ensuring only verified users gain access.

Enabling the LoginPress New User Verification Feature

1. Navigate to LoginPress > Settings in the WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Toggle the New User Verification option to enable this feature.

Registration Flow

1. User Registration Process:
   • When a new user registers on the site, they are presented with a message:

2. Managing User Status:
   • A counter displays the number of pending user approvals in the Users menu of the WordPress admin dashboard.
   • The All Users page has a new column, “User Status,” which shows each user's current status: Active or Inactive.

Admin Actions

Approving a User:

• Click Active under the user’s meta.
• The user receives an email notifying them that their registration has been approved and a link to set their password.

Disapproving a User:

• Click Inactive under the user’s meta.
• The user receives an email informing them that their registration has been denied.

Custom Email Notifications for User Verification

The email notifications for approval or disapproval can be customized using the following filters:

Approve Email Filter

function custom_loginpress_approve_email($custom_message, $user) {
    $custom_message = "Hello, ".$user->user_nicename."\n\n";
    $custom_message .= "Your registration has been approved! You can now log in using your credentials via the following link:\n";
    $custom_message .= wp_login_url();
    return $custom_message;
}
add_filter('loginpress_approve_email', 'custom_loginpress_approve_email', 10, 2);

Disapprove Email Filter

function custom_loginpress_unapprove_email($custom_message, $user) {
    $custom_message = "Hello, ".$user->user_nicename."\n\n";
    $custom_message .= "We regret to inform you that your registration request has been denied. Please contact support for further assistance.\n";
    return $custom_message;
}
add_filter('loginpress_unapprove_email', 'custom_loginpress_unapprove_email', 10, 2);

All you need to do is to update the code in your site’s functions.php file. Make sure to update the content in the $custom_message according to your preference. 

 
Note: It’s recommended to use a child theme to edit the functions.php file. There is the possibility that you might lose the modified code when you update your theme.

That’s it! We hope you now fully understand the user verification feature in LoginPress.
