Reset password link not working with non-default reset page

    Hi there!
    Thanks for this very useful plugin.

    However, I ran into an issue with the [password_reset_link] in combination with a non-default reset password page (i.e. not wp-login.php, using plugin ProfilePress).

    When [password_reset_link] is processed by bnfw the reset link is based on wp_login_url(). In stead function wp_lostpassword_url() could be used so that non-default reset pages can be supported.

    Kind regards,
    Peter

    Hi @dewebbouwmeester,
    Thanks for your message.

    It’s a good point and something I’ve wanted to provide better support for.
    Let me do some investigation and I’ll see if it possible.

    Thanks,

    Hi @dewebbouwmeester,
    I’ve put this on my roadmap to investigate as a new shortcode however, for now, to ensure compatibility, I’m going to have to leave things as they are.

    I hope to release the new shortcodes as part of the BNFW core plugin in the New Year.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Hi @dewebbouwmeester,
    Just wanted to give you an update on this:

    wp_lostpassword_url returns the URL in which the user can enter their username to reset the password but this can’t be the URL which shows the ‘enter new password’ screen.

    If a plugin provides custom password reset urls, then it should replace the password reset url using filters but if it doesn’t, we can’t provide a native way for BNFW to use their new password reset URL (or custom login URL, etc).

    If there’s a plugin that you’d specifically like to see support for, I recommend getting in touch with the plugin author to see if they’re consider changing the way they’re implementing this and to switch to using filters instead.

    Thanks,
    Jack
