    Classipress emailing new users plain text passwords

    I have a problem I've recently discovered with my Classipress site. One of my users has complained that they were emailed their password in plain text. Obviously this is a security risk. I can't work out why this is happening as by default Wordpress no longer sends plain text passwords. I'm running Classipress with the Classy theme, and it's set to send a custom new user email (without a password in it), which it does, but it also sends a second email containing the password.

    I looked in Classipress template files and found and removed the only code i could see in includes > Emails.php that emails a plain text password, however the site is still sending out the passwords somehow.

    Anyone else having this issue/ know of a fix?
