Password reset is not allowed for this user

  • There seems to be a problem with this plugin. Users who try to reset their password get the error “Password reset is not allowed for this user”. If I disable the WP-Members plugin, the email sends. Any ideas? Thx

    That particular string of text does not exist in the WP-Members plugin. So it sounds like it could be a conflict between WP-Members and another plugin that you’re using.

    Right – it’s a woocommerce string, so if there’s a conflict with woo, surely it’s wp-members that need to address it? Please ??

    In WooCommerce, that message is hooked to allow_password_reset and if it’s false, then it returns that notice.

    WP-Members has a filter hooked to allow_password_reset that checks if password reset is allowed for the user. If the Moderated Registration setting is enabled and the user is not activated, then password reset is disabled. Non-activated users are not allowed to reset their password.

    So that’s actually by design. If you’re not needing to approve registrations, then you should turn off the moderated registration setting.
