password_reset action function does not work on multisite? WordPress

  • SOLVED

I am trying to use this function on my multisite.

But the redirect works, but the password does not reset. :/



I diactivated my theme, and activated the twentytwelve theme and insert the function below...




function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
wp_redirect( home_url().'?test' );
exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');



I tested it over and over - and even thought the redirect works, my password is still the old one. As soon as I remove this function, the password resets fine.



Can anyone help me please.

Thanks

Josh,

Have you tried to force a password reset directly in code?


add_action( 'password_reset', 'my_password_reset' );

function my_password_reset( $user, $new_pass ) {
wp_set_password( $new_pass, $user->ID );
wp_redirect( home_url().'?test' );
exit;
}

Maybe there is a bug in WP-Core respect to this, but with this function you will force the password update.

The 'password_reset' hook fires before the function to set the new password, so with the header statement, that never happens and the new password doesn't get saved.

What Francisco suggests will work, but you'll need to make sure you adjust the action just a bit:

add_action( 'password_reset', 'my_password_reset', 10, 2 );
function my_password_reset( $user, $new_pass ) {
wp_set_password( $new_pass, $user->ID );
wp_redirect( home_url().'?test' );
exit;
}
