Notification when new user added from admin dashboard

    We have a system in place using a custom post type “Candidates”. On most occasions, the user will register their account from a form on the public facing side of the site. On some occasions the admin will want to set up the basics for the Candidate and then have them login and finish out their profile.

    I have setup a new notification that triggers on: New ‘Candidate’

    When I add a new candidate on the admin side of the site, the email is not triggered (verified in my Mandrill logs that nothing is being triggered). The test to myself works so I know the email mechanism is actually working. Is adding a new candidate on the back end not a triggering event for a notification? If not, is there a way to set that up?

    Hi boparker,
    Thanks for your message.

    Is the candidate a user? Are they added so that they have a login account?

    Thanks,
    Jack

    One more notes:
    I’m working single site mode.

    Yes, it creates a user as well.

    Hi boparker,
    In that case, you might have more luck sending out a notification for some of the New User notifications instead.

    If you’re not receiving notifications for your custom post type then you might need to look at how it’s adding posts into the database or white statuses it’s moving between to ensure that BNFW can pick it up.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Good to know. I’ll try it with a new user and report back. I just wanted to make sure that back end or dashboard registration was a triggering event as well as front end registration through a form. Thanks and i’ll be back in touch after I’ve tested.

    I just tried it using the New User Registration – For User Notification and didn’t get the notification to the new user. I can confirm that there is a new user in the Users as a subscriber. The email did not go to spam either. I’d be happy to pay you to trouble shoot this. I need to get this fixed if at all possible today for a client presentation tomorrow. Happy to email and send credentials, FTP, etc. Thanks,

    Hi boparker,
    I can’t promise that level of support currently I’m afraid but happy to continue to help trying to troubleshoot.

    How are new users being added to the database? Are you using the standard WordPress registration forms or are you inserting them via some custom code?

    Understood. They are being added through a custom form that is auto generated using the wp job board plugin – https://wpjobboard.net

    Hi boparker,
    Are you happy to look through the plugin code to find how it’s inserting users?

    I tried looking through but I honestly am not sure what i’m looking for. if you can give me a nudge in the right direction, i’ll have a look.

    Hi boparker,
    Sure.

    Try searching your theme from wp_insert_post or wp_create_user or wp_insert_user.

    I seems like the same issue I’ve got. The newly registred user via front end with the WP Directory plugin is showing up in the users list in backend. But no email has been sent to the user.
    I read something about, that WP changed from a password in email to a link instead. Might that be a hint?
    Cheers,

    So it looks like on the public form, insert user is used and in the dashboard it is create user.

    So, the new user registration approach is working much better. However, since both Employers and Candidates are both new users, is there a way that I can distinguish between the two when generating new user emails. For example, I don’t want Employers getting Candidate welcome emails and Candidates getting Employer Emails. The wording needs to be a bit different.

    Another question, is there a shortcode that displays the new user’s role, not just the number for capability?

    thommedia: The password link in WordPress 4 has been supported in BNFW for a couple of versions now. I don’t think that’s it.

    boparker: There’s no way to distinguish users created via different means in BNFW unfortunately. Support for roles is coming and will be released at some point when I overhaul the user shortcodes.
