Bug: new user notification email cannot be disabled

There is a bug where the new user notification email sends even when the setting is disabled via the ‘wp_send_new_user_notification_to_user’ filter.

discourse/wp-discourse/blob/7f16f3fa5e97fe2478c07104b1ea6d9678722627/lib/wp-new-user-notification.php#L114-L117


      
                $send_notification_to_user = apply_filters( 'wp_send_new_user_notification_to_user', true, $user );
          
          			// `$deprecated was pre-4.3 `$plaintext_pass`. An empty `$plaintext_pass` didn't sent a user notification.
          			if ( 'admin' === $notify || ( empty( $deprecated ) && empty( $notify ) ) ) {

To fix the bug the $send_notification_to_user variable needs to be included in the condition on line 117.

Thanks Tim, looks like that is indeed a bug. I’ll add a fix for it in the next version.
