    Hello,

    The default WordPress email notification to new users allows them the opportunity to reset their password but does not allow me to add my own “welcome” text message, which is why I want to use this plugin.

    I don’t see a shortcode or any way I can give the new user a way of resetting their password with the plugin. How can this best be accomplished.

    Thanks,

    Ken Bower

    Hi @kenbower,
    Thanks for your message.

    You may find this support page useful: https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/types-of-notification/

    along with the corresponding shortcode support page: https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/shortcodes/

    You can use the ‘New User Registration – For User’ notification to send to new users after they’ve registered or the ‘User Lost Password – For User’ to send to details of how to reset their password to the user.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for your response.

    I’m using the notification: New User – Post-registration Email

    The notification serves as both a Welcome email and password reset.

    I want the new user to be able to click on a link that takes them directly to a page where they can enter a new password. I’m using the shortcode [password_reset_link]. Unfortunately the shortcode itself shows up in the notification instead of the link.

    Other shortcodes DO work:
    [email_user_firstname]
    [global_site_title]
    [user_login]

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi @kenbower,
    WordPress is very strict on when the password reset details can go out so the only place you use it is in the User Lost Password – For User email as per this link posted above: https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/shortcodes/

    If you go to that page, you’ll see which shortcodes are available to use for which notifications so unfortunately, it won’t be possible to combine the notifications into a single message – you’ll need to use two notifications to achieve what you’d like.

    Hope this helps.
