Password e-mailed to new users workaround?

Posted in: Newspaper

When someone signs up for a new account it sends a password to their e-mail. I know we can use custom registration forms to bypass this to simply have new users enter a password when they register, but I was wondering if there was a way for this to work with the built-in registration form with Newspaper. Can we make it so that they enter a username/password with nothing being sent to e-mail? Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately you cannot do it from the theme as it;s not the theme sending the passwords, but wordpress. Our theme uses the default registration system of WP just styled differently, If you want to change a wordpress feature you have to change the WP files to do it.

Thank you!

I know, I was wondering if you guys knew how I could go about doing that? Or are you not allowed to provide advice for WP-related things? If so, then don’t worry about it 😀

Hi,
Unfortunately we cannot provide any WP “hacks”. For this you will have to chek out the official WP forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/hacks or you may find solutions on external sourcess as well:

I hope this helps.
Thanks.
