Confirmation email

    I am using the LearnDash LMS plugin that is also using the auto-login for Word Press. All of that is working fine but once a new user logs in, they receive an email wanting them to set their password – again! Okay. But when I tested this the other day, and reset the password (as this new user), it apparently thought I – as the admin – was the person submitting this email and suddenly my WordPress dashboard disappeared and nearly caused me heart failure!! My host was able to fix it but I need some help moving forward.

    The email I received in response to the test login was this:
    Username: menurse
    To set your password, visit the following address:
    https://www.nursingprofessor.com/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=TedVfQZLgg87m8pJG5BT&login=menurse
    https://www.nursingprofessor.com/wp-login.php

    My website is nursingprofessor.com
    Is it confusing things? Can you tell by looking at this?

    I really appreciate your help – desperate!!

    When I register on your site, it asks me for a Username and Email address (but NOT a password).

    I then get redirected here:
    https://www.nursingprofessor.com/courses/from-procrastination-to-hallucination-powerful-effects-of-estrogen-on-the-brain

    I then get an email asking me to “To set your password, visit the following address:” … this is NOT asking them to set it again, as they have never set it.

    And this is also normal WordPress behavior… nothing to do with my pluigin. This is correct behavior because once the user logs out, they would not be able to login because the initial registration form does NOT ask for a password, only username and email.

    The only thing my plugin is doing here, is redirecting the user to the courses page you specified. The email request for password (and the links generated in it) are all completely WordPress core functions and nothing to do with my plugin.

    That all said, there are two other options in my plugin though, that you can consider…

    ADD PASSWORD REQUEST TO REGISTER PAGE: Check to ENABLE Password required fields on new user registration form.
    If you check this option, then the new user will be asked to create their password when they sign up on the registration page. The downside to this, is that they will still receive an email that asks them to SET their password.

    CHANGE “SET PASSWORD” TO “CHANGE PASSWORD”: Check to change the text in new users welcome email from “set your password” to “change your password”.
    If you check this option, then (for English only) it will change the wording in the email from “set your password” to “change your password”.

    Hope this helps
