Send activation link to user after registration in WordPress

I am using custom user registration and log in in WordPress. Now I want to send a mail containing activation link to the registered user so that they can complete their registration after clicking that link.

  1. You can do it something like by adding this code in fucntions.php your send_activation_link() functon in
    add_action ( 'user_register', 'send_activation_link');

    user_register is a hook, which runs at the end of user creation 

    function send_activation_link(){
$hash = md5( $random_number );
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'hash', $hash );
$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
$to = $user_info->user_email;           
$subject = 'Member Verification'; 
$message = 'Hello,';
$message .= "nn";
$message .= 'Welcome...';
$message .= "nn";
$message .= 'Username: '.$un;
$message .= "n";
$message .= 'Password: '.$pw;
$message .= "nn";
$message .= 'Please click this link to activate your account:';
$message .= home_url('/').'activate?id='.$un.'&key='.$hash;
$headers = 'From: noreply@test.com' . "rn";           
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
}

    Its not a complete answer but just to give an idea to work something like this
