This follows on from a blog post I wrote recently about the WordPress Welcome Email Editor. I have released the plugin into the WordPress Extend Directory. This page is used to host a changelog and screenshots.
As there were no hooks for the welcome email I had to override the wp_new_user_notification function and write my own then simply converted it to use Options and wrote a nice admin page for it. Let me know if I can extend it at all or if you find any bugs..
Downloads have been moved to the WordPress Plugin Directory although you can download the first version below.

Hello Dave, Your plugin worked great.. for a while. Now it doesn’t replace the email but sends the default WP mail. Is there an option to reset the plugin? Even without any other plugin activated your plugin doesn’t work anymore.
Thanks in advance, Jonas
Hi Jonas, It’s Sean not Dave
It sounds like something else must be conflicting. Try changing the theme. Are you certain that no other plugins are active. Try this article of mine for some help maybe: http://www.sean-barton.co.uk/2012/01/wordpress-plugin-queue-jumping-easy/
Otherwise as a test trying downloading an old version of my plugin and reuploading it to see if it helps. It’s the first I have heard of it not functioning when it has done before so need a bit more information to be able to help really. Try emailing me directly if you like (barton.sean@gmail.com).
thanks
Sean
Hey Sean,
Found the problem. The Profile Builder plugin conflicts…

Hi Sean,
The plugin is great – just what I needed. Just one slight problem – the forgot password email doesn’t show the correct [admin_email] address; registration and password reminder are fine. Any suggestions please?
Thanks

Hi Smiffy.. well spotted, thanks for that! I have just updated the plugin and released a new version for you to use. It now fills in the shortcode properly along with some more nifty little fixes like the from name and email being used site wide instead of just for welcome emails etc…
Let me know if you have any issues with it.
thanks
Sean
Nice one Sean – Thank you
Hi there, thanks for your great plugin ‘SB Welcome Email Editor’.
It worked find, but just upgraded today to Version 2.7 and tested but now the emails are coming as (unknown sender)
Any ideas why?
Hi Ian, thanks for getting in touch. My apologies for that. Do you have the from email and name filled in in the plugin settings? It should only use the WP filter to set it if there is something in there. Let me know.
thanks
Sean
Thanks Sean, sorry for posting in 2 places.
