How to use recovery_mode_email_rate_limit filter in WordPress

Ever found yourself scratching your head trying to figure out how to control the frequency of recovery emails in WordPress? Well, you’re not alone! Thankfully, WordPress provides a handy filter called recovery_mode_email_rate_limit to help us out. As an Indian developer, I know how important it is to keep things simple and efficient. Let’s dive into how you can use this filter effectively.

Example 1: Changing the Rate Limit to 2 Days

Sometimes, you might want to change the default rate limit to send recovery mode emails every 2 days instead of 1.

	function weplugins_modify_recovery_mode_email_rate_limit($rate_limit) {
	    $rate_limit = 2 * DAY_IN_SECONDS; // 2 days
	    return $rate_limit;
	}
	add_filter("recovery_mode_email_rate_limit", "weplugins_modify_recovery_mode_email_rate_limit", 10, 1);
	

Example 2: Setting Conditional Rate Limit

Let’s say you want to set different rate limits based on user roles. For admins, you might want a shorter delay.

	function weplugins_role_based_rate_limit($rate_limit) {
	    if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
	        $rate_limit = 12 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS; // 12 hours for admins
	    }
	    return $rate_limit;
	}
	add_filter("recovery_mode_email_rate_limit", "weplugins_role_based_rate_limit", 10, 1);
	

Example 3: Removing the Rate Limit Filter

If you ever need to remove the filter for any reason, you can do it like this.

	remove_filter("recovery_mode_email_rate_limit", "weplugins_modify_recovery_mode_email_rate_limit", 10, 1);
