"Confirm Email" Field on the Registration Form
Adds a second email field to the WordPress registration form and refuses the sign-up when the two addresses differ, so new users do not lock themselves out with a typo.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
add_action( 'register_form', function () {
$value = isset( $_POST['wpide_email_confirm'] ) ? sanitize_email( wp_unslash( $_POST['wpide_email_confirm'] ) ) : '';

} );
add_filter( 'registration_errors', function ( $errors, $login, $email ) {
$confirm = isset( $_POST['wpide_email_confirm'] ) ? sanitize_email( wp_unslash( $_POST['wpide_email_confirm'] ) ) : '';
if ( strtolower( trim( $confirm ) ) !== strtolower( trim( $email ) ) ) {
$errors->add( 'wpide_email_mismatch', '<strong>Error:</strong> The email addresses do not match.' );
}
return $errors;
