Customized wp_new_user_notification
I’m kind of inexperienced with it comes to editing WordPress functions, yet i’m currently trying to customize wp_new_user_notification in order to personalize the email that administrators and users receive once they register. I’m aware there’s some plugins that allow this kind of customization, but I would rather spend some more time on a problem and try to learn/understand it, rather than just install a plugin.
Hence, I’ve placed this function in my functions.php, and I believe I’m supposed to add one or more filters, such as:
add_filter('myfunction', 'wp_new_user_notification', ?, ?)
or maybe not. I’ve read and attempted to follow several tips/tutorials/questions (such as for example), but no matter what I do, I keep receiving emails with standard text/contents (as if my functions is not being considered by WordPress).
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

You can only override pluggable functions in a plugin, not via functions.php. The function is already defined when functions.php is loaded, which is why your overriding function is skipped. Move the code to your own plugin to enable it.
