Registration Approve New Users Frequently Asked Questions

What benefit does this add-on offer?

Simply put it allows you to add a moderation step to your registration process. This can act as an additional layer of security or just as a buffer to ensure irrelevant or low quality users do not end up on your website.

Can the moderator for new users be set manually?

Yes. You can choose to change the email address that is used for the moderator or you can set several moderators by adding in several email addresses and separating them with commas.

In fact the email notification can be sent to any email, it doesn’t necessarily need to belong to an admin or even a user registered on the site.

This opens up a lot of flexibility for you with your workflow as well as offers delegation of tasks.

How does the Customer know when the admin has finally approved their registration?

After it’s been approved an email notification is sent to the email address they submitted during the registration process.

Can the email that is sent to the site admin be customized?

Yes. You can modify the notification email through the plugin settings (CM Registration Pro → Settings → Approve New Users → Admin Notifications). There are several shortcodes for injecting more live and relevant content into the body of the email.

HTML can also be implemented in creating the email template to add some light styling, or alternatively use the visual editor.
