Is it possible to add a shortcode into the registration confirmation email to send the recipient their username/password after registration?
I have used the code snippet from here: https://gist.github.com/Apina/9596012 to automatically create users upon registration. Now I would just like to create a custom email tag for their username/password if its possible.
thanks

Hi,
The function should send out an email to the user containing their username and password.
I’ve updated the Gist to include the WordPress standard way of doing it as well ( wp_new_user_notification ) if you wish to use that.
If you really want to include these details in the EE email, then things get a lot more complicated very quickly.
You would have to edit a core file (not recommended) and also somehow get the user id via an SQL and pull in their email and password (after de-crypting it). Overall, I think this will be much more trouble than it’s worth.

Thanks Dean
The function is sending out an email that contains the username and password, however my client really wants to reduce the number of emails that get sent out when someone registers for an event. So thats why I’m trying to condense the EE registration confirmation email with the user created email into one.
I am thinking of using your solution here: https://eventespresso.com/topic/custom-question-e-mail-tag/ to use the [question_Form question] and [answer_Form question] tags but also combining it with the function that automatically creates the user/password.
I would add 2 new questions to my registration form, one for username and one for password. Then using those answer tags to display those answers in the EE confirmation email. Then I would customize the create wp user function to use those fields from my form when creating the user. Hope that makes sense but I would like to know if you think that would be a good idea or what you would recommend to achieve this if not.
thanks!

Hi Eric,
Dean’s approach *is* the best one. I don’t recommend asking for the user’s password and storing it in the database as a custom question answer. This could prove to be a security issue, because WordPress encrypts passwords that are setup when registering, but doesn’t for the ones that you will be getting from the user with the custom questions.
