Support » Fixing WordPress » Attempting To Reset Password

  • Hello,

    I recently created my WordPress.org site, and I thought I had my password on ‘Remember Me’, but for some reason it clicked off and now I’ve seem to forgotten the password I registered with.

    Normally this would be an easy fix, you just click “Forgot Password” and then check your email, click the link and change your password to something you can remember.
    This is where my problem lies. Instead I receive an e-mail saying

    Someone requested that the password be reset for the following account: http://jacobmpierce.com/ Username: jacobmpierce If this was a mistake, just ignore this email and nothing will happen. To reset your password, visit the following address:”

    <— Here’s a screenshot of my email.

    And that’s it. There is no following address to visit. Just a blank white box, I’ve repeated this same error a few times now. And I’ve checked the e-mail on different browsers and on my phone, still having the same issue.

    If anyone has had this problem before and could help me out that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

    P.s. I apologize if this post is in the wrong part of the forum, I didn’t see any other topic that could help me with this problem.

    I found this post after searching for exactly the same problem. In the password reset email, there is no link to click. However, I found this workaround which may help someone – if you click to reply to the email, you can then see the link text that was supposed to be there. Then copy it and paste to your browser.

    Anyone know if there is a fix to this problem? I’m not an expert but it looks like wp-login.php is not forming the link properly.
