Hi, having recently migrated from another forum we are having a few issues with members who cannot remember their login details from the previous forum. How can I search for members using their email address or is there any other way of finding a member who cannot remember either username or password? Many thanks, Audrey

user are the realm of WordPress... as such, WordPress has a built in password reset feature... there is a link for it on the standard wp login page and also on our inline login form in the forum... if they go to that form, they can enter their username or email and get a new password...

I should add, that in WP, its not possible for an admin to get or see the password for a user... they can set it to something, but they cannot see the current on...
also, in the WP admin, on the wp - users - all users admin panel, you can see all users by their email addresses.... you can also sort them or search by them...
but again, if the user wants a new password, best to use the lost password link...

I just want to add something here... (as I had the exact same problem with my users, as I recently converted to simple:press too)
If you put this little code in your functions.php file:
function login_with_email_address($username) {
$user = get_user_by_email($username);
if(!empty($user->user_login))
$username = $user->user_login;
return $username;
}
add_action('wp_authenticate','login_with_email_address');
Your users will be able to log in using their e-mail-addresses - and of course the usernames will still work too.
