Display form rows in columns

Chad Butler · Oct 19, 2018 ·

This tutorial will address the common question, “How do I layout the form in columns?”

Let me say that this tutorial is one of those that is a “guideline,” not an exact science. That is due to the number of different variables that cannot be controlled. So for best chance of success, I recommend that you start with the basic process exactly as in the example. Try to reproduce that first so that you understand what it is doing before moving on to something complicated.

The following is a discussion of the the exact code snippets that I used in this demo (which also uses the code snippets for assigning placeholders to the fields and removing labels).

Force user to update password from randomly set password

Chad Butler · Dec 11, 2015 ·

This process is similar to the customization Redirect User On First Login. The difference here is that this forces the user to change their password from the randomly set password prior to being able to continue using the site. This would occur for initial password sent when registering as well as if a forgotten password is reset. Continue Reading →

Reset password with just email

NOTE: if you are using version 2.9+, there is a new set of code snippets using some new filter hooks that make this process easier.

One of the requests I get most often is how can I change the plugin to have the password reset only require the user to give their email address. This especially comes up when people customize the process to use the person’s email address as their username, since a password reset form with “username” and “email” doesn’t make much sense in that situation.

Well, since version 2.8.5, there has been a filter hook in the password reset process that allows you to filter the arguments that are passed in order to reset the user’s password – wpmem_pwdreset_args. There are two stages to this demonstration, and thus two parts of the code snippet. First, we only need a form requesting the user’s email, so we will remove the “username” field from the form. Second is filtering the arguments of the password reset process so that the user’s password can be reset with only the email provided. Continue Reading →

Add a helpful dialog above the password reset form

Chad Butler · Apr 5, 2013 ·

Suppose you want to add a little text above the password reset form that will help the user know what to do – in this case, put in your username and email and you’ll receive an email with a new password. Here is an easy way to do that with the wpmem_login_form filter. Continue Reading →

Workaround for registration form layout issues

Chad Butler · Oct 16, 2012 ·

In some cases, you may find some strange wrapping with the default WP-Members registration form. While the best solution is to customize the CSS with a custom stylesheet for your site, there is also a quick workaround that can be applied. Continue Reading →
