19,659 Pointswoocommerce + wordpress redirect conflict
I've run into a conflict that occures between woocommerce and the wordpress login screen. When woocommerce is activated, the "forgot password?" links don't redirect to the forgot password page. Instead the link reloads the login page. If I deactivate woocommerce, the links work again. It also is causing conflicts with requiring users to be logged in to view the site (setting the site to be private). If I login a subscriber account it takes me to the account page rather than the homepage. Has anyone run into this issue or know of any solutions. What I'm trying to achieve with the site is for it to be a private site with the woocommerce shop. A user must have a login to view the site.

19,659 PointsManaged to solve this problem, for anyone that runs into the same issue here is my solution:
Set WordPress Login as Home Page with the plugin "members" https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
Redirect WooCommerce login from "my account" to "home page". https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/202562649-Redirect-to-a-custom-page-after-logging-in-based-on-the-user-role
...combined with this plugin, the above code wouldn't override it alone, and neither would the plugin alone: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonimo-simple-redirect/
Reset the forgot password URL from WooCommerce to WordPress. Because you have to be logged in to view the site, the forgot password was unable to access the WooCommerce Page. Adding this to functions.php resets the password url to the WordPress url.
// Wordpress + WooCommerce Reset Password URL function reset_pass_url() { $siteURL = get_option('siteurl'); return "{$siteURL}/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword"; } add_filter( 'lostpassword_url', 'reset_pass_url', 11, 0 );

documentation is your best friend. If not email woocommerce themselves.
