Overview
Frontend Reset Password lets your site users reset their lost or forgotten passwords in the frontend of your site. No more default WordPress reset form! Users fill in their username or email address and a reset password link is emailed to them. When they click this link they’ll be redirected to your site and asked for a new password. Everything is handled using default WordPress methods including security, so you don’t have to worry.
Frontend Reset Password is perfect for sites that have disabled access to the WordPress dashboard, or if you want to include a lost/reset password form on one of your custom site pages. It also works great with Easy Digital Downloads!
Any error messages display right on the form, including whether the username or email address is invalid.

Great Plugin – Easy to handle
by filewalker·4 years ago
Thanks, this is one of the easy to install and use plugins I ever saw.
There is just one little tiny thing. The in the frontend used words:
– Email Address or Username
templates/lost_password_form.php:46
– New Password
templates/lost_password_reset_form.php:42
– Re-enter Password
templates/lost_password_reset_form.php:55
– Sorry, that key has expired. Please reset your password again.
includes/somfrp-functions.php:536
– Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid. Please reset your password again.
includes/somfrp-functions.php:540
Are not translateable in the plugin config form. You have to go into the code.
Anyway thanks a lot for the plugin!
