    A link comes to email (after entering email in forgot password) but that link redirects to homepage

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    As described in this codex, in WordPress, there is more than one way for Rsetting Your Password .

    I (admin) can login but what if a normal user lost its pass?
    That automatic emailer should work but its reset link redirects to homapage.
    I already have admin access.

    It would seem that there is something going wrong with how links get redirected.
    Do your permalinks work ? Change your permalinks setting and see if your site still works, you can then change it back again.
    Essential to redirects is your “.htaccess” file in your website root, and that your server has “mod_rewrite” enabled.

    When you try one of these password reset links, what shows up in the logs, enable debugging and see what they say.

    No debug.log created in wp-content
    I followed steps written in codex about debug
    Should I use a plugin ?

    Also when i checked .htaccess i got these codes

    
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteRule ^login1234 /wp-login.php?oqeijx_hide_my_wp=1234 [QSA,L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    I think mod_rewrite is enabled( new to coding language)

    Problem solved a newly build plugin caused that problem..
    Now I want that this delete this post as I can see there are 50 email telling that someone is mousing

    Well done for figuring this out.
    That “login1234” line in .htaccess looks very sus, presumably this was from a security plugin that cloaks the login page. Shame that it didn’t play nice with the email recovery method, suggest that you tell them using the plugin support forum.

    Unfortunately the post history in these threads cannot be edited.

    Yes it was a plugin which changes wp default logo and also wp-login.php to new name
    Will tell support to improve
