## Installation

 1. Download the welcome-email-editor.zip file to your computer.
 2. Unzip the file.
 3. Upload the `welcome-email-editor` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 4. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### Why is the Password not included in the Welcome Email?

Since version 4.3, the password is no longer sent to the user via email, and instead,
a reset password link is sent. This was a controversial decision, but it was made
for a good reason.

The idea of this plugin is really great.But unfortunately t goes to scr*w up the
link/email/page of the lost password.So that when a user forgets the password will
be never ever able to get the change password form. Only the login form is showing
up.

This plugin is super easy to use and connect to whatever email service you are already
using. Much better than the built-in / server-side emails that WordPress defaults
to. Thank you <3

This was just what is was looking for. I have a client portal system within a CRM.
The registration process for user involved them getting the standard WP password
reset email which is messy. I was easily able to change the wording to suite my 
requirements. Thanks so much for your work on this great plug in.
