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/$1 [R=301,L]



# END WordPress

Any ideas on how to fix the link in that e-mail?

[@chandersbs Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

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

[@chengdu-living Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

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 nnEnjoy!");



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!!

[@tomdebruin Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Try putting quotes around your address.

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

[@chengdu-living Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

That worked!

Thank you so much for your help, Tom!!!

[@tomdebruin Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Glad I could help out.

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