Root Relative URLs and user emails

  • Quick fix to a problem I just ran into (maybe can be included in next version?)

    Scenario: using Root Relative URLs plugin (or accomplishing the same thing via other means) results in user activation emails etc. not having valid links, for example /login instead of https://foo.org/login.

    For most emails this can be worked around via the plugin’s email functions. If you’ve activated Security and the account lockout feature, that email is not editable via the admin. Here is a quick fix:

    /wp-content/plugins/theme-my-login/modules/security.php, right at the end, around line 594, replace:

    $unlock_url = add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'unlock', 'key' => self::get_user_unlock_key( $user->ID ), 'login' => rawurlencode( $user_login ) ), wp_login_url() );

    with 

    // fix for root relative URLs
			$unlock_url = wp_login_url();
			if ( strpos( $unlock_url, 'http' ) !== 0 ) {
				// root relative URL, add site url
				$unlock_url = site_url( $unlock_url );
			}
			$unlock_url = add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'unlock', 'key' => self::get_user_unlock_key( $user->ID ), 'login' => rawurlencode( $user_login ) ), $unlock_url );

    Hope this helps someone.

    But wp_login_url uses site_url, so how’s that happen?

    There’s a hook for it, site_url. That plugin I mentioned (Root Relative URLs) uses it, along with many others, to strip out protocol and domain segments, only returning from the first slash onward. One could also build one’s own hook into a theme’s functions or whatever.

    Granted it’s an edge case, but figured I’d post it for anyone else who runs into it.
