Lost password link broken on multi site

Redirecting the Lost Password URL to

mainmulitsitedomain.com/yourhideslug?action=lostpassword

did the trick for me, not very shiny but working

Thanks, did you need to add the redirect on each sub site individually?

Sorry, dumb question. I forgot the link is always the same. Redirect added at the main domain works fine.

The plugin should have a better, more elegant solution, but it works

Thanks

Anyone of you guys care to explain how this is done? Thanks.

I dropped this into the functions.php of my child theme

add_filter('lostpassword_url', 'wp_hijack_lostpassword');
function wp_hijack_lostpassword() {
    return home_url('/yourhideslug?action=lostpassword');
}

Or, if you have a Redirect plugin just create a redirect on your main domain

example:

lost password link is
mainmulitsitedomain.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

go to:
mainmulitsitedomain.com/

install/activate redirect plugin

create redirect from
/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
to:
/yourhideslug?action=lostpassword

But the PHP route might be better

Thanks guys the php version works great.

However there is still the issue of submitting the actual request form on the password reset page as the form post to the following

/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

which generates 404

Has anyone tested submitting the form?

Can we also solve this via a filter?

*sadly*

The only workaround if found was to alter this line

<form name="lostpasswordform" id="lostpasswordform" action="<?php echo esc_url( network_site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=lostpassword', 'login_post' ) ); ?>" method="post">

and this one
<form name="resetpassform" id="resetpassform" action="<?php echo esc_url( network_site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=resetpass', 'login_post' ) ); ?>" method="post" autocomplete="off">

in the wp-login.php

I don’t like changing core files…

Four weeks ago @eteubert added a post elsewhere to his workaround to this problem. We’ve installed it and it’s working well so far:
