#7597 closed enhancement (fixed)

No way to disable the email notification to the site admin of a new user registration

Description

Once an user signs up, an email notification is sent to the admin from the BuddyPress function bp_core_activate_signup using the WordPress method wp_new_user_notification. There is no way to avoid this programmatically.

This might seems pointless at a first glance but it can be very helpful for membership or registration management plugins and it can be achieved in 1 minute. These plugins may have settings to improve the content of that email which cannot be used if BuddyPress is active, because it send a standard email. I experienced it with my own plugin that allow to manually approve registered users.

A simple filter like the example patch attached would does the job.

This is a WordPress issue.

If you want to disable the WP new user registration email, then add the following to a new file - wp-content/mu-plugins/disable-new-user-email.php:

<?php
function wp_new_user_notification() {}

Hello @r-a-y,

Sorry for the delay, I missed your reply. Thank you so much for your time but maybe I've explained badly, because this wasn't the point.

My point is not to disable the WP new user registration email totally, but avoid that BuddyPress use it in that circumstance, because I want to use it (the exact same function) in another place.

Does it make sense?

@webbaku *Which* function do you want to re-use in another place? bp_core_activate_signup()? And why?

Thanks!

@DJPaul I am talking of wp_new_user_notification(), as showed in the patch file. For the reasons explained above.

Thank you.

P.S.: Webbaku is my not-personal account, I didn't notice I was using it, sorry for the confusion.

WordPress core has added a $notify parameter in 4.6

I am wondering if this simple on/off filter is the best choice here. If you want to disable admin notifications you stumble upon this solution but if BuddyPress is active, this is not sufficient. You also need to change the filter from this patch to false. This is not very intuitive.
