Occasionally the 'moderated' login details are not getting through to the user, because of SPAM filter setup I guess. It would be useful if the admin could forward on their details if they don't arrive? Jim Hi Chad,

Is there a way (or workaround) to allow the registration moderator to see the registrant’s password when they receive a registration request or better still a copy of the subsequent email that goes off to the approved user? Occasionally the ‘moderated’ login details are not getting through to the user, because of SPAM filter setup I guess. It would be useful if the admin could forward on their details if they don’t arrive?

If wp_mail was in any way not functioning, there would be no emails going out. A cursory search indicates that with Hostmonster if the From: header is not formatted correctly, is empty or invalid their system will change the from address. With the default setting, the from address is set by WordPress and not the plugin. So my guess would be that you have set an email address that your host considers invalid (such as "info@mydomain.com" when there is no such valid address in your system). Some hosts do this to prevent spammers from sending from made-up addresses. Well, the plugin cannot bypass the WordPress email function as that is the function it uses to send email (wp_mail).

I do know that I have run across a couple of situations where the site had been using a caching plugin. For some reason, this interfered with the process in a way that caused the system to put two meta entries for each field. Ultimately, this created a situation that made it appear that registration information was not being retained. However, a look at the database showed the information was there, it just was unable to be displayed via the system. This problem was the result of a conflict with a cache plugin and it effected any accounts that were created when that plugin was active, even when that plugin was disabled. Sorry for the long explanation, but I thought it might help determine if this is a similar case. Have you had any cache plugin installed and activated at anytime during this process?

It sends it out as [myhostmonsterusername]@host302.hostmonster.com. As far as I can find in my cPanel admin, there's no such email account. I tried adding in the filters to the function.php in my theme like you suggested, but they didn't work. The plugin seems to be bypassing the wordpress email function and is sending emails from hostmonster. And advice is greatly appreciated.

You can update this in your translation .po file by changing the string to "Existing Users Login" Hi Pat – yes, I need to get an updated pot file into the download.

As I have made a FR translation, all other sentences are taken into account except the "Existing users login", and I'm sure to have it translated in the fr_FR.po file! . Is there a specific thing to do for that? Many thanks Hi Chad,

Are you using any caching plugins? You might need to test this with other plugins disabled to see if there's a possible conflict.
