ah, looks like wp complete changed the new user notification routine... so any plugin that touches that is likely to fail... 

and of course, there was no notice from them of this change...  given their screwup in the 4.2.3 (I think) release, their recent track record of not breaking things has gone to hell...  they usually do notification of potentially breaking changes but failed here I guess... 

have to add our name to the list of dozens this change broke...  we will work on a fix...

guess we have to join the ranks of plugins and themes whining about the recent lack of insight into changes from the wp devs... 🙁

I doubt it will be that difficult... time more than anything else... and the release process of course consists of lots of testing...

btw, shoudl point out that wp will no longer send the password in plaintext via email...   So you could keep using, just tell people to ignore the password field...

after our changes, it will just be gone... replaced by a link to reset your password...

so an alternate fix for now would be to remove the

 %NEWLINE%Password: %PASSWORD%

element from our email...  since that is essentially what we will be doing in the fix...

I removed the %password% as suggested. Probably another of my dumb questions, But.. How can a new user get their password if WordPress no longer sends it? Color me confused today..

users get their password when they sign up... its shown to them...   same for resetting (or lost) password...

wp will no longer send plaintext passwords in emails.. a good thing, really...

I just did a new registration and was not prompted to enter a password, nor was one presented to me. All I see is a registration approved and the standard wordpress login screen.

So I assume you have to add that in? If so in the meantime how can a new user register? Do a password reset?
