Last Update 19 days ago

Sendrella Email Shield allows you to protect your WordPress or WooCommerce site by requiring users to verify their email before logging in. Follow this step-by-step guide to set it up properly.
🔧 Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Admin Panel
🧭 Step 2: Open Sendrella Email Shield Settings
  • From the left sidebar, click "Email Shield"

  • Then click "Settings"

📩 Step 3: Enable Email Verification
  • Navigate to the Email Verification tab.

  • Check the box labeled "Enable Email Verification"

  • This activates the email confirmation process during user registration.

📝 Step 4: Customize the Verification Email Subject
  • Enter your desired email subject. Example:
    "Verify Your Email to Activate Your Account"

Email Body
  • You can enter HTML or plain text content.

  • Use placeholders like:

    • {verification_link} – The unique confirmation link

    • {username} – The user’s chosen username

    • {email} – User’s email address

    • {site_name} – Your website’s name

⚠️ Important: Make sure {verification_link} is included somewhere in your email content.

🌐 Step 5: Create the Verification Page
  1. Go to Pages > Add New

  2. Enter a title like "Email Verification"

  3. Click Publish

  4. After publishing, copy the page slug (e.g., email-verification)

🔗 Step 6: Configure the Verification URL Endpoint
  • Return to Sendrella Email Shield > Settings > Email Verification

  • In the Verification URL Endpoint field, paste the page slug you copied

  • Click Save Changes

  • Reload the settings page to confirm the slug was saved correctly

Step 7: Test the Feature
  • Register a test account from the front end.

  • You will see that the account is not logged in immediately.

  • It will prompt the user to verify their email first.

  • Try logging in without clicking the verification link—it will be blocked.

  • Then, check the inbox, open the verification email, and click the confirmation link.

  • After verification, login will succeed.

🧠 Additional Notes
  • Works with WooCommerce registration flow as well.

  • You can reset and resend verification emails from the login prompt if needed.

  • Placeholder-based templating makes your emails personalized and secure.
