Change password not in user profile area after upgrade to 3.1

Change password not in user profile area after upgrade to 3.1

Hi

I notice users cannot change their password in their profile area now I have upgraded to 3.1 (from 1.9) 

I found this link, which was helpful

http://serverfault.com/questions/724903/moodle-since-update-to-2-9-1-user-cant-change-their-password

"moodle/user:changeownpassword = Allow" in permissions but still it does not show up.

I can access it from the yourmoodle/user/preferences.php page as given in the link, is this how we have to to do it in 3.1?

I would have thought 'change password' would still be available in profile area?

Can anyone tell me where I edit the user preferences area from so I can see if it is unchecked or hidden?

Many thanks!

You answered your own question... it's in the user preferences. The link should be on the profile page or on the dropdown next to you avatar at the top right of the page. If it isn't, make sure your theme is up to date.

Hi Howard

Many thanks for your reply. 

Sorry I was not clear, there is no link to 'user preferences' in 'profile', I was only able to find it direct via the info. in the post I cited.

I have updated my theme and still no joy.

Is there a setting somewhere where it could have been 'hidden' or 'turned off'?

As an alternative I have added a htlm block to users dashboard with a direct link smile

I have seen several themes that have not yet updated the preferences page to include that link.

I would make sure you have the latest version. They seem to produce updates quite frequently.
