Help Needed: Resolving Key Issues on Fluent Community

Hello everyone,

I’m currently facing a few challenges with Fluent Community and was wondering if anyone has managed to resolve these or found workarounds:

  1. Disabling Specific Registration Emails:
    New members receive two emails during the signup process:

    • One with a verification code to confirm their registration (this is fine).
    • Another prompting them to set up their password via the site’s admin URL ("wp-admin"). This email poses a security risk as it exposes the admin URL. Has anyone figured out how to disable or customize this email?

  2. Translating Automatic Emails:
    Is there a way to translate the default automatic emails, such as the verification code email, into another language (e.g., French)?

  3. Customizing the Password Reset Page:
    The default password reset page redirects to WordPress’s default interface, which looks unprofessional and reveals the "wp-admin" URL. Has anyone successfully customized this page or found a way to secure it?

If you’ve tackled any of these issues, I’d love to hear your insights or solutions!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Morgan

Ad. 3 it is very hard to hide the wp-admin url and changing your login page might help your site security just a little little bit - when a bad actor craft a specific url where only you/admin have access then WP might redirect the bad actor to the login form. Don't forget that there are other ways to get in to WP.

You should rather have a strong login procedures in place (2FA for elevated users), use WAF rules for the url (limit IPs, countries etc if applicable) or even use Password Protect (.htaccess) for the /wp-admin - this might not be convenient if you have other WP users.

See attachment with this community wp-admin form that I could access (its a WP feature not a bug or a Paint app job) although it is not visible for visitors etc

Has anyone come up with a solution to item 1? Did you resolve it? Thank you!

Rachael W , Morgan COTTEN  If I remember correctly, I enabled an option directly under FluentAuth > Settings > Basic Security Settings.

Look for an option that says something like "Replace default registration form with a secure form with email verification".

By checking that box, it bypasses the native WordPress registration system (the one sending that email with the wp-admin link) and replaces it with Fluent's secure workflow using the verification code. Take a look there, that's most likely where you'll fix it!

2. For Email Translation (System Emails): From what I recall, you can translate these under System Emails (or E-mails Système) within FluentAuth. This is where you can customize and translate the text for the automatic emails, including the verification code one.

3. For the Password Reset Page / Hiding wp-admin: I don't use any native WordPress forms anymore either. I believe this is managed under FluentCommunity > Settings > General. Look for an option like "Login/Registration Form Type" and select "Use a custom login page".

This should redirect users to a URL like /portal/?fcom_action=auth, which uses the FluentAuth form. This custom layout handles login, registration, and password resets all in one clean interface, completely bypassing the default WordPress look and hiding the wp-admin URL.
