FAQ

Why is the Password not included in the Welcome Email?

Since version 4.3, the password is no longer sent to the user via email, and instead, a reset password link is sent. This was a controversial decision, but it was made for a good reason.

This was just what is was looking for. I have a client portal system within a CRM. The registration process for user involved them getting the standard WP password reset email which is messy. I was easily able to change the wording to suite my requirements. Thanks so much for your work on this great plug in.
