How to customize password reset work-flow?

Hello,

I want to modify the password reset work-flow. More specifically, lines 238 to 241 of woocommerce/includes/shortcodes/class-wc-shortcode-my-account.php:
```
if ( is_multisite() && ! is_user_member_of_blog( $user_data->ID, get_current_blog_id() ) ) {
                        wc_add_notice( __( 'Invalid username or e-mail.', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
                        return false;
                }
```
What’s the recommended way of doing so, without editing the WC files directly? Is there a hook I can use?

I want to allow store admins to enable a bypass for this error (allow password reset for users that are not members of the blog) and to perform some other code of my own instead of running “wc_add_notice” and “return false” (so, being more precise, I want to replace the lines 239 and 240 only, with other custom code).

I am not asking for the code 😉 I was able to make it work the way I need by directly editing the file, but I know this is not the right way (it will be lost on plugin update), so I just need some guidance on how to customize it the right way.

Thanks.

If you want Woocommerce not to send password reset email and want to do it with your code you can
```
add_filter('allow_password_reset', 'my_custom_password_reset', 10, 2);
```
return false in my_custom_password_reset function. This will stop woocommerce to reset password.

To do it yourself you need to
```
add_action('retrieve_password', 'custom_reset_solution');
```
In custom_reset_solution user_login is passed as parameter. You can write you own logic here for password reset and sending email etc.

Thanks, kamransyed

However, this didn’t work.

do_action( 'retrieve_password', $user_login );

is fired only after

! is_user_member_of_blog( $user_data->ID, get_current_blog_id() )

test – i.e., custom_reset_solution is not called at all in my scenario (I want to customize the reset function exactly to make it bypass the “! is_user_member_of_blog” situation).

The only action fired prior this test is lostpassword_post, but it do not passes the user ID or any useful information unless a failure happens on the user login check (what won’t be useful for me anyway).

You can use lostpassword_post hook instead of retrieve_password hook. lostpassword_post fires before ! is_user_member_of_blog( $user_data->ID, get_current_blog_id() )

Unfortunately, no, I can’t.

lostpassword_post do not carry any information about the user, so I can’t identify which user is requesting the reset.

@mike Jolley: if an user that do not have a role on blog (“is not a member of blog”) can login, why can’t he request a password reset? This limitation do not make sense for me.

Please remove this limitation or add a new hook I can use to customize this. 😉

Thanks.

`
$login = $_POST[‘user_login’];
‘
You can try above line in your function to see the login requested for.
