I want to send a custom password retrival email from wordpress, one where i can style it so it looks less ugly.
I see that wordpress uses a function to do this but i have no idea how to over
function retrieve_password($user_email) {
global $wpdb, $current_site;
$errors = new WP_Error();
// redefining user_login ensures we return the right case in the email
$user_login = $user_email;
do_action('retreive_password', $user_login); // Misspelled and deprecated
do_action('retrieve_password', $user_login);
$key = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT user_activation_key FROM $wpdb->users WHERE user_login = %s", $user_login));
if ( empty($key) ) {
// Generate something random for a key...
$key = wp_generate_password(20, false);
do_action('retrieve_password_key', $user_login, $key);
// Now insert the new md5 key into the db
$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array('user_activation_key' => $key), array('user_login' => $user_login));
}
$message = __('Someone requested that the password be reset for the following account:') . "rnrn";
$message .= network_site_url() . "rnrn";
$message .= sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "rnrn";
$message .= __('If this was a mistake, just ignore this email and nothing will happen.') . "rnrn";
$message .= __('To reset your password, visit the following address:') . "rnrn";
$message .= '<' . network_site_url("wp-login.php?action=rp&key=$key&login=" . rawurlencode($user_login), 'login') . ">rn";
if ( is_multisite() )
$blogname = $GLOBALS['current_site']->site_name;
else
// The blogname option is escaped with esc_html on the way into the database in sanitize_option
// we want to reverse this for the plain text arena of emails.
$blogname = wp_specialchars_decode(get_option('blogname'), ENT_QUOTES);
$title = sprintf( __('[%s] Password Reset'), $blogname );
$title = apply_filters('retrieve_password_title', $title);
$message = apply_filters('retrieve_password_message', $message, $key);
if ( $message && !wp_mail($user_email, $title, $message) )
wp_die( __('The e-mail could not be sent.') . "<br />n" . __('Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...') );
return true;
}
Does anyone know how to make this function run instead of the one found in wp_login.php
Thanks
Just override the content. You’ll see 2 lines that are of particular interest.
This allows you to replace the content of the title and message that has been generated. Here’s an example.
