I’ve noticed recently that when users login to the website, they are getting an error message.

ERROR: The password you entered for the username xxxxxx is incorrect.

But if you enter your information a second time into the login fields and submit, the login works fine. I can’t seem to figure out why the initial login fails, but the second attempt works. The login area is using the (bbPress) Login Widget. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?

I’m running bbPress Version 2.5.12, WordPress Version 4.7.5.

After some testing, I’m finding that if I edit a user account, and click save, they can then login on the 1st attempt. What I don’t understand is why this broke to begin with. It must have something to do with users in the database? This is going to be a long night.

ok think you need to do some testing.

suggest you start by seeing if the issue only occurs with bbpress login widget, or with a standard worpdress login – they are effectively the same as bbpress merely uses a wordpress login, so you shopukld see the error with both, but worth checking

if both create the issue, then follow the instructions in the https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/ thread on troubleshooting and then come back
