2.1: User change password

allanj

Hello all,

I updated my forum to v2.1 (awesome!) recently, and I've just had someone ask me how they can change their own password. I had a look through the options and my permissions etc, and couldn't see any way to do this. I can do it as admin, but is there a way, or an option I need to enable, to allow this?

Thanks,
Allan

They should be able to do so by calling www.example.com/profile/password
The link is in the default theme. Maybe you have "styled it away"?

If they click on their profile there must be an "edit profile"-button in the upper right corner... and than the second option under the little profile picture must be the "Change my Password" option

edit: i dont know if this is related to my used theme... but @R_J‌'s solution should work

Hi all,

Thanks so much for the replied! There is an 'Edit Profile' button for the accounts, but the form on that page just has username, email address, "allow others to see your email" and gender. No option to change the password.

Urgh - having said that, I just spotted the "Change My Password" link in the side bar like @Martin_Meier said... Doh! Sorry for taking up your time, it wasn't quite was I was expecting, but it is there!
