Confirmation required on email change

You can paste below code in your current theme’s functions.php file

1. If user changes email address from his/her profile
function update_profile_email_adddress( $user_id, $old_user_data ) {
 
  $user = get_userdata( $user_id );
  if($old_user_data->user_email != $user->user_email) {
    $admin_email = "[email protected]";
    $msg = sprintf( __( 'Below user has updated their profile.' ) ) . "\r\n\r\n";
    $msg .= sprintf( __( 'User Name: %s' ), $user->display_name ). "\r\n\r\n";
    $msg .= sprintf( __( 'Previous Email: %s' ), $old_user_data->user_email ). "\r\n\r\n";
    $msg .= sprintf( __( 'New Email: %s' ), $user->user_email ). "\r\n\r\n";
    wp_mail( $admin_email, sprintf( __( '[Your Site Name] User Profile Update' ), get_option('blogname') ), $msg );
  }
 
}

add_action( 'profile_update', 'update_profile_email_adddress', 10, 2 );

2. Admin/website send confirmation email. || This will be similar when new user registers on your site

if ( !function_exists('wp_new_user_notification') ) {
    function wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $plaintext_pass = '' ) {
        $user = new WP_User($user_id);
  
        $user_login = stripslashes($user->user_login);
        $user_email = stripslashes($user->user_email);
  
        $message  = sprintf(__('New user registration on your website. %s:'), get_option('blogname')) . "rnrn";
        $message .= sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "rnrn";
        $message .= sprintf(__('E-mail: %s'), $user_email) . "rn";
  
        wp_mail(get_option('admin_email'), sprintf(__('[%s] New User Registration'), get_option('blogname')), $message);
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Hey there,

Big thanks for you’re code. But when I speak about confirmation I mean a link (with a key) to confirm changing email address.

Like 80% of the website right now, when you want to change you’re email address you have to click on a personnal link sended on you’re current email address

Anyways, you’re code is a good start I think. Hope someone else see this topic.

Where is the user redirected when he/she clicks on personal link ? There might be any profile manageable page from where user can update the details.

Is there any plugin used for that or it’s WP default ?

If that has been any form, and on submitting of that form, email gets updated, we can apply code on form submission and can check if old email and new email is different, we can notify to admin.

Hey there, Sorry for the late reply.

I can code a page with a small form for the new email.

Im using Ultimate member right now as community plugin, so they have an account page when they can change their email.

Thanks man !

Have a good week end.
