Automating the user registration process on your WordPress powered website sounds simple but is it really? Often, website owners struggle keeping up with registration forms and user requests but New User Approve takes care of it for you and more.
What is New User Approve?
New User Approve gives you complete control over your WordPress website’s user registration and management system by automating processes such as sending approval emails with credentials.
Here is how the default WordPress registration process works:
- User fills out a registration form;
- User is shown a message to check their email;
- Login credentials are sent to the new user in an email;
- User logs in to the site using login credentials;
New User Approve modifies the WordPress registration process by introducing a few extra steps:
- User registers for access to the site;
- User is shown a message to wait for approval;
- Admin is notified of new user sign up via email;
- Admin approves or denies new users;
- Approved and rejected emails are sent to the user. If approved, email will include login credentials.
- User logs in to the site using login credentials.
