Here’s a temporary solution that will be safe for your case **if** you are certain that the email addresses of your imported users are valid, **and** you continue to use the default WordPress login system for your new users. If you ever switch to using a front-end login system that doesn’t validate emails, you must be sure to remove this code. Try copying this function into your theme’s `functions.php` file:

```plaintext
add_filter( 'discourse_email_verification', 'wpdc_custom_email_verification' );
function wpdc_custom_email_verification() {

    return false;
}

```
