Error 404 after click on “password link” in Email on User Registration

    Hi,

    we use this message in Mail to redirect the user, after he puts in his credentials in the registration form:

    Vielen Dank für deine Registrierung – um deinen Zugang zu aktivieren, klicke bitte [password_url].

    So it worked for years, but suddenly, this shortcode leads to a 404 Error.

    We have a plugin active, to make the login URL custom.

    So instead of “wp-login.php?action=” it should be “our-custom-login?action=” with the token and all what is necessary. So how can we put in a custom login link?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Best regards
    Mikkel

    Ah ok thank you very much. I thought this is too specific to ask – so I did not search for it ??

    So am I right, that I have to edit the .htaccess file with a rewrite rule?

    Like so:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=rp&key=([^&]+)&login=([^&]+)$
    RewriteRule ^wp-login.php$ /pass-reset/?somresetpass=true&somfrp_action=rp&key=%1&login=%2 [R=302,L]

    Would this work?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.
    Best, Mikkel

    Hi @mikkelcrunch,
    No problem.

    You may need to change some valuees in your re-write rule to account for your specific circumstance and then test but yes, as far as I know, providing you’re using an Apache web server (or front-end) then this should be the way to go about it. You may need a developer to help with this if you run into difficulty though.
