This is a super useful snippet of code that changes your WordPress default email after the user has created an account. This solution is awesome because of several reasons:
- It doesn’t require any plugins
- It doesn’t require any email designers
- You only need to know a little bit of HTML
- It doesn’t go to Promotions; it goes directly to the INBOX (!)
How to use Change WordPress Welcome Email code:

- create a BricksBee account to download this code
- Paste the code you downloaded into
function.php
or via the Snippet plugin. - Keep the structure the same and change the text content.
- Test: create an account and check the mailbox.
Important: don’t paste images via URL is somehow, WordPress won’t send this email. Use your imagination and make some CTAs beautiful with CSS.
