Expiration of key that is emailed out?

    It appears that if a user doesn’t click on the link to reset their password in about a day or so, it always gives an ‘invalid key’ error. Is there an expiration on the key? If so, can it be prolonged? I need to send out a mass email asap but if I need to give them additional instructions to accommodate an expiration, I need to know what that is.

    Thanks!

    I have analysed this and found the root cause of this. Previous before WordPress 4.3. there was an unlimited expiration time of the passwords. With the introduction of WordPress 4.3. this has been set to 24 hours.

    Will change some part of the code in order to make sure the version will work with this new solution. And furthermore I shall try to investigate if it is possible to override the 24 hours expiration time.

    Until you release the new update, is there any chance you can share the fix so I/We can apply it?

    That’s great! Thanks!

    Unfortunately, now I’m getting a different error. The error now says:

    The email could not be sent.
    Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…

    I have tried multiple times on different servers where the mail() function is indeed working.

    Thoughts?

    No ideas at the moment. I had tested this on my test environment and there is was working.

    For the plugin I am using the default WP mail function.
