[Resolved] CRED password Reset wont display when logged in

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The problem here is that the user has his reset password form but it's not showing up for his logged in users.

Solution:
These forms were not actually created by CRED but views is just hooking into the default forms for wordpress and these are only accessible by logged out users.

Take a look at the documentation here
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-reset-password-form

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-forgot-password-form

These forms may appear to work only with users who are logged in but this doesn't seem to be the way wordpress is using these forms.

I am trying to:

Create Login, Forgot Password, and Reset Password forms for the site

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

hidden link

I expected to see:

A form to reset your password when you are already logged in.

Instead, I got:

No form when logged in, but it shows up when you are logged out. The same happens for the Login Form and Forgot Password forms, but those are only used when you are logged out. The Reset Password form is needed when they are logged in.

Hi Ronald,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

The reset password form is for users who are logged out and have forgotten their password. We are hooking into the wordpress default reset password function.

If a user wants to change there password, the best way to do it is to create an edit form with CRED that contains the password fields to change the password.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Oh, ok so what then is the difference between the Forgot Password Form and the Reset Password Form? How would you use both on a website?

Hi Ronald,

Take a look at the documentation here

These forms may appear to work only with users who are logged in but this doesn't seem to be the way wordpress is using these forms.

As mentioned previously the best way to get this done is to use a CRED form that contains only the password fields to change the password.

Please let me know if this helps.
