Prevent Password Email upon Register With LoginPress (Hook)

By default, WordPress sends an email notification to the site's admin and the user who is being registered (with the username and password) upon successful registration. 

This knowledge base article will show how to prevent WordPress from sending the password reset email if you’ve custom password fields enabled with LoginPress (Hook).

If you’ve custom password fields enabled, but don’t want to send an extra email for the password reset when a user registers to your site.

Let’s get started!

How to Disable New User Notification Emails with LoginPress (Hook)

You can disable WordPress from sending the reset password email to the new user if you enable the Custom Password Fields inside the LoginPress settings using some custom code. 

Here are the steps you need to follow in order to disable it:

Step 1: Enable LoginPress Custom Password Fields

First, go to the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard of your website.

Navigate to LoginPress and click on the Settings option.

A new screen with all of the LoginPress Settings will open up.

From here, Enable the Custom Password Fields feature.

Step 2: Add the Snippet in the Theme’s functions.php File.

Once you’ve enabled the Custom Password Fields, you’ll need to add the snippet in the theme’s functions.php file to disable the reset password email sent to the user upon successful registration.

Note: It’s recommended to use a child theme to edit the functions.php file instead of the parent theme. There is a risk of losing the modified code when you update your theme. It might cause some adverse effects on your website.

This code ensures that only the admin receives the registration email upon new user registration, not the user being created, because it sets their new password from the LoginPress registration form.

Here is the hook that we are going to use for this purpose.

wp_new_user_notification_email

Usage in functions.php:

function loginpress_wp_new_user_notification_email_cb( $wp_new_user_notification ) {

      $wp_new_user_notification['to'] = '';

      return $wp_new_user_notification;

}

add_filter( 'wp_new_user_notification_email', 'loginpress_wp_new_user_notification_email_cb' );

All Done! Easy right? This is how you can easily prevent WordPress from sending emails to new users upon registration by using the hook mentioned above.
