Directory

Hi, is it possible to disable the email sign up so I can create store accounts that will be listed in a directory? I am unable to do so at this point because an email is required to create the account. Thank you.

Hi,

The email field is mandatory for vendor registration and this is logical for any user registration as well. The email verification should be mandatory for a verified user.

Thanks,

Hi, that is not the way I wish to use the accounts for the time being.

Are you saying there is no code snippet to allow stores to be created without an email? I would like for the username and password to only be mandatory.

I need to create over 100 stores which I will add myself. The business owners can email me if they wish to claim their account at a later date. They can add their email then.

Hi,

You can create as many vendors after logged in as a administrator, just use a test email id while creating those vendors. Later when business owners claim for their account from you just provide them with a store access and they (business owners) will change the email id of their wish.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response but that is not going to work. I would need to create over 100 test email addresses and I do not have the time to do that. I am willing to pay someone to make the email on sign-up optional. Are you able to provide me an approximate quote?

Hi,

Sorry email id field is mandatory so that can’t be an optional field during registration. Every user registration requires a valid email address. It should pass WordPress email validation rule. You may check from wp-admin -> Add user also. It is WordPress standard.

Thanks,

I’m not 100% convinced. I’ve just added a code snippet that has disabled the mandatory email for WordPress users and you can see the code snippet in the link below. I’ve also attached a screenshot to show email is no longer required for WordPress users.

Website: https://www.wppluginsforyou.com/how-to-create-users-without-email-in-wordpress/
Snippet:
// This will suppress empty email errors when submitting the user form
add_action(‘user_profile_update_errors’, ‘my_user_profile_update_errors’, 10, 3 );
function my_user_profile_update_errors($errors, $update, $user) {
$errors->remove(’empty_email’);
}

// This will remove javascript required validation for email input
// It will also remove the ‘(required)’ text in the label
// Works for new user, user profile and edit user forms
add_action(‘user_new_form’, ‘my_user_new_form’, 10, 1);
add_action(‘show_user_profile’, ‘my_user_new_form’, 10, 1);
add_action(‘edit_user_profile’, ‘my_user_new_form’, 10, 1);
function my_user_new_form($form_type) {
?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(‘#email’).closest(‘tr’).removeClass(‘form-required’).find(‘.description’).remove();
// Uncheck send new user email option by default
<?php if (isset($form_type) && $form_type === ‘add-new-user’) : ?>
jQuery(‘#send_user_notification’).removeAttr(‘checked’);
<?php endif; ?>
</script>
<?php
}

Hi,

Yes the above code will work while creating users from wp-admin -> Add user. But we recommend a mandatory email field while adding vendors from WCFM store manager and also from vendor registration page.

Thanks,
