To see who is verified and verify, unverify or resend activation emails by hand, open WPFactory > Email Verification (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Email Verification) > Admin in Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce. It adds a Verified column, per-user action links, a status filter and bulk actions to the WordPress Users screen. All of these options are free.

| Label | Option ID | Default | What it does |

| Allowed user roles | alg_wc_ev_admin_allowed_user_roles |

| Users filter | alg_wc_ev_admin_users_filter |

Set it up #
- Go to WPFactory > Email Verification (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Email Verification) and open the Admin sub-tab.
- Keep Verified column on and tick Actions.
- Tick Users filter and the three bulk actions you want.
- Click Save changes, then open Users.
What you see on the Users screen #
- A check mark means verified. A cross means not verified; hover it to see when the last activation code was created.
- Unverified users get Verify and Resend links, verified users get Unverify. Each link asks “Are you sure?” and then shows a notice such as “User ID: 12: verified.”
- Users whose role is in General > Ignore user roles (administrator by default) always show as verified and have no Unverify link.
How bulk actions behave #
- Resend verification email only emails the selected users who are still unverified.
- Verify users and Unverify users skip users already in the target state.
- When the selection reaches Advanced > Background processing > Minimum amount (default 20), the job runs in the background and, with Send email on (default), emails the site admin when it finishes.
If it does not work #
- No Verify or Resend links: Actions is off, or Verified column is off.
- A shop manager cannot see the column or links: their role is not in Allowed user roles. Leave the field empty to allow every role.
- Old customers show as verified: accounts created before the plugin was active count as verified unless General > Pre-plugin users is on.
FAQ #
Does verifying a user by hand send them an email? #
Not by default. Turn on Email > Confirmation email > Send confirmation email to the user manually verified by admin if you want them notified.
Can I delete unverified users from here? #
Use the standard WordPress Delete action, or the cleanup tool in Advanced > Delete options. See How to Delete Unverified Users in WooCommerce.
Where is the verification status stored? #
In the user meta alg_wc_ev_is_activated.
