Chad ….. absolutely perfect! Thank you so much, just made my life so much better ??

Hi Chad …. my happiness was a bit too soon. I just realised that my cPanel is throttled to around 500 mails per hour and everything above that is rejected. It feels like it’s going to have to be a manual process. Many thanks anyway.

That script only sets the meta keys in the db that WP-Members looks at to see if the user has been activated. The whole point is to avoid sending activation emails to existing users. So if you’re getting emails sent, it’s not from that process.

Chad, again many thanks and apologies. I must have read the detail wrong in the article. My only excuse ….. it was a bad day. My happiness is back lol.

No worries – hope all works out for you!
