Well that’s embarrassing. Works fine. Thanks.

Hi Bill,

Glad you like the plugin. The settings fields all get hidden by default just to save space on the page, and to allow the user to open each section one at a time to concentrate on those settings. If you hover over the h3 bar, a little arrow should appear on the right hand side, and clicking that drops down the settings fields. Let me know if that still isn’t working for you.

Alex, Great functionality, just what I need.

WordPress 2.9.2, New User Email Setup 0.5.2.

When I click Plugins > New User Email Setup > Settings, I see the settings fields for a split second, then all I see are the h3 heads. I downgraded to the previous version and this worked OK, but I was having trouble with the emails being sent out so I upgraded to 0.5.2, and this is happening again.

Thanks, John. That makes sense. In our case, we’re manually creating users of different levels, but I can understand that that’s probably not the standard use case.

I appeciate the ideas of other plugins; I’ll check those out.

It’s a nice concept Sarah, but not practicable since Wordpress does not offer any way for user A to sign up as a Subscriber and user B to sign up as a Contributor. You can only choose one role for new users. If you want certain users to have a role higher than that you have to promote them after they sign up, at which time you can send them an email that says whatever you want it to say. Another option would be to use a plugin like Peter’s Login Redirect that can send users to a specific page after logging in, based on their role. You could put the info on that page. Furthermore, you could use a plugin like User Access Manager to hide that page from the other roles.

HTH,
John Nasta

This is definitely a feature request, not a bug.

I’d really like the option to define different emails for different user roles.

In my case, most of the blog contributors are not tech-savvy, so your plugin provides a great way to give them a kind-and-gentle introduction to WordPress.

However, we’re also using a chat plugin that requires registration, and I’d like to send the new “Subscriber”-level users a totally different email, one that links to the chat page and doesn’t reference any of the “Contributor” features.

Ideally, it would be nice to be able use the same email for more than one role (e.g. I would send the same one to “Contributor” and “Author”), but if that makes life difficult, I can also just copy/paste between boxes.

I’d be happy to sponsor development of this feature; just contact me directly via email with a quote if you’re willing and able to add it!

Hi anunturi, I’ve stayed away from anything to do with the password because there are so many plugins that deal with it, and I feel that the password reset doesn’t really come under the New User umbrella. If you want a custom version of the plugin though, I am available for hire.

As for the problem with sending emails to the admin, is the email you entered set up on a server?

This isn’t an issue with the plugin, so I can only think to check your server logs, and to check your spam/junk mail and also the mail function used by your server. Let me know what you find.
