There’s a lot of tutorials I could and would love to do. At the moment, though, what I have to do is move house and finish client projects that are running over! Sorry, you’ll have to try Google ;-)

Steve can you make a tutorial on helping out with current user and validating authentic cookie? I’m sure this will help may users.

I don’t have a tutorial on that, sorry.

Nice one, Bro! I am working on it. I am a neophyte on customizing functions and I need all the help that I can get. I am now on getting current user and validating authentic cookie. Do you have a tutorial for that? Thanks.

This works great! Thank you! Is there a way to customize the subject line of the email? Currently the plugin uses the site name of the site as the subject line. It would be great if there was a way to customize this.

If two plugins redeclare the same pluggable function, naturally they’ll clash. Thinking about a situation where you’d enable two plugins to perform different operations on the same functionality—well, that’s getting into hooks territory. Not sure why WP has the new user email managed via a pluggable function rather than a filter or action, but there it is.

So let’s say we redeclare a pluggable function in our plugin and it works fine. Now another plugin too redeclares the same function. Won’t these two clash? Is there a way for two plugins to use pluggable functions and still respect the sanctity?

Hi Joseph... Good question! For changing the the "From" address, it looks like wp_mail takes extra parameters, including an optional string or array of headers. I think you can specify the "From" address in here. I've not done this, but just follow the code trail. Check out the wp_mail function in /wp-includes/pluggable.php (notice that as it's in here you can override the whole function if you want to - overkill though, I think!). I imagine it's all a big wrapper for PHP's mail function... Hope that puts you in the right direction.
