Some shortcodes not resolved in mails (pw and pw-reset-url)

  • Hello,

    I’m just about finished setting up the
    Unfortunately it seems as some shortcodes don’t work in the E-Mails I’m sending.
    In the “regisration succesfully”-Mail, the [password] is not being resolved. It prints [password].

    It’s a bit different in the “reset PW mails”, there the shortcode to the resetting site is a bit scrambled:
    https://www.example.com/https://example.com/edit-profile/?add=username%40webmail.com&rc=UUrISgJwRGNgASf
    So the URL is unfortunately doubled in the link.
    Could you help me out with what went wrong here?

    In case it’s relevant: I don’t give the users the option to register themselves, I register them myself in the backend and want to tell my members their username (email-adress) and pw (which they hopefully change asap…) in the info mail they receive after I’ve completed the registration process.

    Thanks for your help

    What I forgot to mention: I use the premium version (still on 7-day-trial, I didn’t enter my purchase code yet).

    Also I might have found one part of my problem. That is my code from the “forgot-password”-site.
    [forgot-password redirect_page='https://www.example.com/confirm-forgot-password/' loggedin_page='https://www.example.com/edit-profile/' reset_email_url='https://www.example.com/edit-profile/']
    I guess I should put reset_email_url='https://www.example.com/confirm-forgot-password/' there instead? (Although I don’t quite understand yet, why said URL has to be in the code two times, it seems a bit redundant.)

    Edit: Jap, the correct link works now. So now only the question about why new users don’t get their passwords is unsolved.

    Hi roller,

    A while back we released a big update to the way the emails are created, giving users a lot more control over the email content and which email is sent for which action. With the new system, you are no longer able to automatically send a password in an email.

    Oh, that’s very unfortunate!
    Which options do I have to send them their password?

    Hi steppen,

    Unfortunately, there is currently no built-in option to do this automatically in the plugin. You could send them a separate email with their password, but it would have to be done manually. We’ll look into re-implementing this in our new email system.

    I respectfully ask that the plugin not send passwords through email. Email is plain text and such can be viewed by anyone sniffing. Emailing passwords is not a good security practice. Also, being able to lookup passwords in general is bad security practice. It is much better to use the password reset feature. As a network/security professional I’m requesting that this not be an option.
