I would like to include the user name in the first email that get’s sent out to new Members, the validation email. Any suggestions on customizing this email? I know it comes from Buddypress but can’t work out how to include the user name so people can remember what they selected…
Thanks!
HillaryHello, you can use this plugin for that https://wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-email-editor/

Thanks Laura, yes I’d already tried the Welcome Email Editor plugin but it wasn’t working. The test emails worked but not when actually adding new members to the site. Just the same old Buddypress emails come. i see others have been having the same issues with that plugin (and the other I’d found) as they are no longer supported and a couple of years out of date.
Any other suggestions on customising these sign up emails?
Thanks!

This one https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-email-template/ just allows you to make the template pretty (backgrounds, custom logo, etc) but no option to change the wording (including in the PRO version)
The first email sent is the activation email. Try looking at this topic: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/customizing-buddypress-activation-emails-outside-and-still-get-activation-key/

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for but this is code for function.php to create a welcome email with variables of your choosing. It works great with the WP Better Emails plugin for email theming.
