How To Send Reset Password Link Emails Using Caldera Forms Users

The Caldera Forms users add-on allows for user registration and login forms, and combined with the method described at Add Password Reset Link To Password Fields , it is possible to manage reset password link with the default WordPress form.

The first method sends an independant email using the ‘caldera_forms_do_mailer’ action hook. The whole content is to be set in the code.

In the second method described below, we use the caldera_forms_mailer filter hook to send the reset password link via a Caldera Form. The email field in the form that determine the user, needs to be set as the email recipient in the main mailer (the recipients option under the email tab in the Form’s editor page).

	/*
	*
	* Sends and independant email with a reset password link
	*
	*/
	add_action( 'caldera_forms_do_mailer', function( $mail, $data, $form ) {
	if( 'CF5e85b15e45b2a' == $form[ 'ID' ] ) { // Use you own Form ID instead of CF5e85b15e45b2a
	$user_email = $data['fld_6009157']; // Use the ID of the email field that defines the user instead of fld_6009157
	$user = get_user_by( 'email', $user_email );
	if(!$user){
	return;
	}
	$username = $user->user_login;
	$key = get_password_reset_key( $user );
	$reset_link = wp_login_url() . '?action=rp&key=' . $key . '&login=' . $username;
	$message = '<h2>' . __('Proceed to reset password : ', 'my_slug') . '</h2><br />' .
	__('Reset your password link : ', 'my_slug') .
	'<a href="'. esc_url( $reset_link ) . '" title="' . __('Reset your password link : ', 'my_slug') .'" >' .
	esc_url( $reset_link ) . '</a>';
	wp_mail( $user_email, $mail['subject'], stripslashes( $message ), "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" );
	}
	}, 10, 3 );
