In WordPress, when you create a new user account, the system sends a welcome email to the user to set their password and access their account. If, for any reason, a user doesn’t receive or accidentally deletes this welcome email, you can resend it manually. Here’s how to resend new user welcome emails in WordPress
Option 1: Resending New User Welcome Emails in WordPress Without a Plugin
Access your WordPress website’s admin dashboard by entering your username and password. In the dashboard, go to the “Users” section, where you can view and manage user accounts. Click on “Users.”
- Locate the User: Scroll through the list of user accounts or use the search function to find the user for whom you want to resend the welcome email.
- Edit the User’s Profile: Click on the username of the user you want to send the welcome email to. This will take you to the user’s profile page.
- Resend the Welcome Email: On the user’s profile page, you’ll see a section called “Name/Contact Info.” In this section, you can find the user’s email address. In the “Name/Contact Info” section, you’ll also see a checkbox that says, “Send User Notification.” Check this box to trigger the system to resend the welcome email.
- Update the User Profile: After checking the “Send User Notification” box, scroll down to the bottom of the user’s profile page and click the “Update User” button to save your changes. The welcome email will be resent to the user’s email address associated with their account.
