After much research and experimentation I fixed that password problem I was having.. Had to do with the “New User Approve” plugin I was using: http://picklewagon.com/wordpress/new-user-approve/

The fix was to add the following line to the functions.php that turned off this password reset:

function ignore_new_user_autopass() {
return true;
}

add_filter( ‘new_user_approve_bypass_password_reset’, ‘ignore_new_user_autopass’ );

as described here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-new-user-approve-ignoring-set-password

Hey guys,

I found your thread and thought you guys may have a similar issue as I’m having as it relates to buddypress and registration. Was wondering if you are encountering this:

bbPress (2.5.3) seems to completely ignore what the user had originally set as their password on my registration page from the very beginning of registration.

More detailed explanation:
On the registration page, the user chooses their own password, and then once approved, the user is then sent an automated registration message which then assigns the user a new random password. The user then has to log in using this random password and reset the password.

Have you encountered this? Any solutions?

thank you,
Matt

Hi Phillip,

Where exactly did you add the code int the php file? I tried adding it to the very bottom of the file but that resulted in that code appearing as text at the top of my site.

thank you,
Matt
