   Trying to find the filter to change the URL for "You must log in to post." to an alternate URL since I am using a custom WP user management plugin and want all users to use custom WP login page.

   Tried using the user_link and user_profile_link filters found at http://www.mittineague.com/dev/bbpafrl1_0.php but neither worked.

   I did this on a bbPress install recently... but rather than doing anything tricky programmatically, I just changed the links in the theme.

   It worked great!

   *ponder* dbone, if they use the must login to post link, they stay on the same page as they already are, so it shouldn't be an issue, right?

   I mean, all you really have to do is redirect registration to your profile manager tool.

   Which file did you edit? I was not able to find it in the default theme.

   I did find the code that creates the link in /bb-includes/function-bbtemplate.php, post_form(), line 311 for version 1.0.1.

   I think it was the login.php file.

   Definitely don't edit any pages in bb-includes... create a /my-templates/ folder as described here!

   I should have been more clear on where I am trying to update the link. After clicking on a forum from the front page the following is displayed at the bottom:

   You must log in to post.

   Looked in login.php and couldn't find the line in question (I do have a template in my-templates).

   I can try using the action bb_init but I don't know how to pull in the content to apply a regex similar to WPs the_content filter.

   Not sure if this is the best method but I don't have more time to research and here is what I came up with:

   1. Create a new file; /my-plugins/bb-template.php
   2. Code:
   

   add_filter('bb_template', '_bb_template');
   
   function _bb_template($template)
   {
   	if (preg_match('/login.php/i', $template))
   	{
   		header('Location: /myurl/');
   		exit();
   	}
   
   	return $template;
   }

   3. Activate in bb-admin

8. You must log in to post.
