How to use new_admin_email_content filter in WordPress

Struggling with WordPress hooks? No worries, you’re in good company! Today, let’s dive into the new_admin_email_content filter. This is a powerful tool for customizing email content sent to new admins. Let’s explore how you can use this hook to tweak your WordPress site to your liking.

To use new_admin_email_content filter, you’ll first need to register it using add_filter. This can be done in your theme’s functions.php file or, as we recommend, through a custom WordPress Plugin to ensure that updates to your theme don’t disrupt your customizations.

Sometimes, you may need to remove a registered hook, and that’s where remove_filter comes in handy.

Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

Here’s a simple example of how to use this hook.

    function weplugins_modify_new_admin_email_content_defaults($email_text, $new_admin_email) {
        // Update the $email_text variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        // You can modify the $email_text variable conditionally too if you want.
        return $email_text;
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("new_admin_email_content", "weplugins_modify_new_admin_email_content_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

If you need to remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_filter("new_admin_email_content", "weplugins_modify_new_admin_email_content_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.

Example 3: Using Parameters

The new_admin_email_content filter uses two parameters:

• $email_text: (string) Text in the email.
• $new_admin_email: (array) Data relating to the new site admin email address, including ‘hash’ and ‘newemail’.
