    Sorry, let me clarify – I want to be notified as an admin when someone new joins. But I don’t want to get exactly the same email they received – I want their password to NOT be in the email to the admin. Thanks

    The admin notification email in WP-Members already does not include the password. If you are getting the same email as the user, it is coming from somewhere/something else.

    Hi Chad – thanks for replying. But is that really true? Below is the email I receive as an admin (I adjusted to remove the actual user/pw). It’s basically an exact copy of what the settings default for the members. Any thoughts on where else would it be coming from? Thanks

    A new member has registered. The following email was sent to the member.

    ——-Member Email———-

    Hi Chad – thanks for replying. But is that really true?

    Yes, that’s really true. There isn’t even an option to send the password to the admin. I get users all the time that ask why the can’t get the password emailed to the admin and I have to explain why no one should have the password except the user.

    As to why you are getting the user’s welcome email coming to the admin – the plugin doesn’t do that either.

    I’m pretty sure you’ve got something other than WP-Members installed here.
