Email about pending user, What capability?

  • I have give Editors these capabilities:

    $edit_editor = get_role('editor'); // Get the user role
        $edit_editor->add_cap('edit_users');
        $edit_editor->add_cap('list_users');
        $edit_editor->add_cap('promote_users');
        $edit_editor->add_cap('create_users');
        $edit_editor->add_cap('add_users');
        $edit_editor->add_cap('delete_users');

    Now I would like the Editor to also receive email about a new pending user.
    Is it possible?

    By default, emails about new users is only sent to the email address set in general settings. The email is sent by the function wp_new_user_notification(), which is a pluggable function, meaning you can define your own version and it will be used instead. Copy the function declaration from wp-includes/pluggbale.php to your theme’s functions.php. Better yet, to a child theme’s functions.php. Edit your version by adding additional @wp_mail() lines to send messages to whomever else you want.

    You can query for users with a certain role with get_users(), which returns an array of WP_User objects, each of which contains the user’s email.
