Hi!,

I have kept the shortcode for lost password in bbpress and after giving email address and clicking “reset password” button no message is showing in the page like “please check your mail with reset password link”.

Please help.

yes I agree that would be better

If you know how to add code to your childtheme functions file, then

1. create a page called something like ‘Password Reset’ and put in the content the message you would like to display

Make a note of the url of this

2. Put this code into your functions file

add_action ('bbp_get_wp_login_action', 'rew_lost_pass', 20, 3) ;

function rew_lost_pass ($login_url, $r, $args) {
//bail if this is not a lostpassword
if ($r['action'] != 'lostpassword' ) {
return apply_filters( 'bsp_lost_pass1', $login_url, $r, $args );
}
//so this is lost password so go to lost password login page
$login_url = 'http://mysite.com/password_reset/' ;
//$login_url = $r['context'] ;
return apply_filters( 'bsp_lost_pass2', $login_url, $r, $args );

and change the line

$login_url = 'http://mysite.com/password_reset/' ;

to whatever url you had in 1. above

Hello there,

I know that this thread is quiet old but I got the same problem.

There is no way for the user to know if the lost password request has been sent.

I tried your code but it created a fatal issue on the site..

Does anyone of you found a solution / alternative to this problem?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

ok, can you post the exact code you used, and that you put this in your child theme functions file
