The swpm_login_form shows the ‘forgot password’ and ‘join us’ links. I tested the forgot password link which redirected me to the reset password page instead – ie for a logged in user to change their password.
The settings info doesn’t include a page for the forgotten password, only the reset psw.
The code for this form shows:
<div class=”swpm-forgot-pass-link”>
Forgot Password?</div>
<div class=”swpm-join-us-link”>
Join Us
</div>I found in the plugins editor – simple-membership/views/forgot_password.php (inactive)
Help please. How do I reset this?
Also is there a shortcode to use if I want to add this elsewhere?
ThanksHi, currently that is how the plugin is set up. If someone forgets their password all they have to do is reset their password.
@davidc3 when you go to the Login Widget you will see the Forgot Password link. Click on this link and it will take the member to a Password Reset screen.
Let me know if you need more help.
Regards
I have been trying to tell you that I am clicking the “Forgot Password” link in the login page it takes me to the “Password Reset” page which tells me “you are not logged in” and nothing more. When I am logged in I can go to “Password Reset” with no problem which is no use if a member has forgotten his password.
Kind regards
David@davidc3 I sympathise with you as I too was confused by this. The code for this is actually quite clever as it detects if you are logged in. If so then you can reset your password. If you are not then you can request a new one.
However the status of page/post where this shortcode (forgot password etc) resides also determines what the user sees. If it is protected then the user has to be logged in – otherwise you get the message to login. If it is unprotected then voila you will see the ‘forgot password’ code.
Hope that helps.
