{password_reset_link} not working in Account Welcome Email

Hi @hustlefish

The default {password_reset_link} short tag only works in Password Reset email.

You can try this code snippet below and see if the password reset URL will show up in the Welcome Email template. Use the short tag {password_reset_link_v2} in the template.

/**
* UM Placeholders for reset password
*
* @param $placeholders
*
* @return array
*/
function um_121520_add_placeholder( $placeholders ) {
    $placeholders[] = '{password_reset_link_v2}';
    return $placeholders;
}
add_filter( 'um_template_tags_patterns_hook', 'um_121520_add_placeholder', 10, 1 );

/**
* UM Replace Placeholders for reset password
*
* @param $replace_placeholders
*
* @return array
*/
function um_121520_add_replace_placeholder( $replace_placeholders ) {
    $replace_placeholders[] = UM()->password()->reset_url();
    return $replace_placeholders;
}
add_filter( 'um_template_tags_replaces_hook', 'um_121520_add_replace_placeholder', 10, 1 );

Thanks for the help! Looks like this is really close to working. It generates the link but then when I try to reset the password I get a security error “This is not possible for security reasons. This message was triggered by ultimate-member.” I don’t have any security plugin or server level WAF active. Looks like it’s a security check from Ultimate Member. Below is the Call Stack

Hi @hustlefish

Could you please confirm that this is the exact message thrown?

“This is not possible for security reasons. This message was triggered by ultimate-member.”

I tried searching in the plugin but this part is not generated by UM:
This message was triggered by ultimate-member.

Hello,

In case that helps… I faced a similar problem. I followed your instructions and added your script. Like @hustlefish , link was then generated in email but when I tried to reset password and validate, I would also get the following error :

“This is not possible for security reasons.”

I then realized it was only because I was still logged with my admin user (so I couuld modify email template).

Thanks for your script
