Change the URL in registration e-mail

   When users register on my bbPress installation, they receive a URL to login. Except the URL to login is the bbPress install location, not the URL of the bbPress install as it sits inside my WordPress site design. How can I change the URL in that e-mail?

   If that wasn't clear, here's what I mean. The registration e-mail is forwarding users to http://www.chengduliving.com/bbpress but where I want them to go is http://www.chengduliving.com/forum

   Thanks!

   It's because your bbpress install is in a different directory than your WP
   You can try copying this to .httaccess

   '
   RewriteEngine on

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.:]+\.)*chengduliving.com/bbpress\.?(:[0-9]*)?$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chengduliving.com/forum/$1 [R=301,L]
   '

   If that dosn't work try here:

   Isn't it better to locate the file which is sending the data?

   I will look into this as well.

   I added that bit to .htaccess and it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Perhaps it takes time to take effect? Here's what my .htaccess looks like:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   RewriteEngine on
   
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.:]+\.)*chengduliving.com/bbpress\.?(:[0-9]*)?$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chengduliving.com/forum/ [R=301,L]
   
   # END WordPress

   @chengdu living I tried locating the file, but didn't find it.

   I'm still trying to fix this problem!! The URL redirection didn't work for me but I think a better fix would be to change what's output in the registration e-mail, if that's possible!

   If anyone has a solution I'd be eternally grateful!

   Have you looked at bb-includes/functions.bb-users.php?

   In
   

   function bb_send_pass( $user, $pass ) {
   	if ( !$user = bb_get_user( $user ) )
   		return false;
   
   	$message = __("Your username is: %1$s \nYour password is: %2$s \nYou can now log in: %3$s \n\nEnjoy!");
   
   	return bb_mail(
   		bb_get_user_email( $user->ID ),
   		bb_get_option('name') . ': ' . __('Password'),
   		sprintf($message, $user->user_login, $pass, bb_get_uri(null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT))
   	);
   }

   have you tried changing the bb_get_uri(null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT) to your web address?

   Thanks for your help Tom,

   How would I add my web address into that line? I tried the following but it gave me an error:

   sprintf($message, $user->user_login, $pass, http://www.chengduliving.com/forum/)

   Thanks!!

    Try putting quotes around your address.

    i.e. sprintf($message, $user->user_login, $pass, "http://www.chengduliving.com/forum/")

    Glad I could help out.

    Be aware that this is 'core hack'. If/when an upgrade comes out that will be overwritten.
