After the user account is created, how can I make edits to the set password email?
Editing the set password system email
Hi Marie,
What email do you mean? The one sent on signup, or when they use the lost password tool?
The latter doesn’t have an editor in s2Member, that’s a WP feature. You may find a plugin for it, though…
The signup one can be customized from here: WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Email Configuration > New User Email
It is the first email they get upon signup after registering that allows them to set their password. That is an S2 action but the wording the member gets is not found on the wp-login.php page. How is that text populated for that email if it’s not from the wp-login.php page. Now if there if someone wants to reset their password after setting it the very first time, that is a WP injection. I have no problem with that one. I just want to know where I can change the text of the email the person gets to set their password on their very first password setup.
Do you mean the password they set themselves when signing up with the registration form? Are you allowing custom passwords on registration? WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Registration/Profile Fields & Options > Allow Custom Password During Registration
Or do you have it set up so that an email is sent to them with a link to set their password? If so, like I said above, you can customize it from here: WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Email Configuration > New User Email
I hope that helps!
It is the email they receive when they FIRST set their password THEMSELVES. NO custom passwords. I want to know where the content of that email is populated from since I did not find it in the wp-login.php file on the server. I did find the text for the password “reset” but not the text for setting the password the very first time.
I’m not sure I understand which one you’re talking about.
NO custom passwords.
It’s called custom password because the user sets it on registration instead of WP generating it for them.
It is the email they receive when they FIRST set their password THEMSELVES
Ok, so they set their password… Where? On the registration page or after clicking on a link they got by email to go set their password?
I want to know where the content of that email is populated from
I already pointed you to the one that s2Member has an interface for, which is the email they get on signup, setting their preferred password during signup. Did you see that in your configuration? WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Email Configuration > New User Email
What does the email you want to change, say by default? Maybe that’ll help me identify which you’re talking about.
S2 is set to generate a password for NEW member. Member get this first email to set the password:
Your Username/Password for:
(name of membership)
Username: xxxx
To set your password, visit: url to set password
another url to go to login page
Do not confuse this email from the one a member would get to
“reset” the password later if they want to change it.
What I am looking for is what file on the server has the text
above as it is not in the wp-login.php file and it is NOT in
the S2 email configuration area that I can see.
Thx.
Thank you Marie.
That email message is what you can see in the screenshot I posted above. Here it is again:
You can find that here: WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Email Configuration > New User Email
When you get there, set it to “yes, customize new user emails with s2Member” as you can see in the screenshot, and then click on the link that says “click to customize”.
Try editing the email message, and then click the “save all” button at the bottom of the page to save the changes. Then try the registration again and see if your email is now the one you customized it to.
I hope that helps.
OMG…thank you so much for being patient with me. LOL
