borks reset password link

Disabling password change email to users also kills reset links in emails sent to users via other plugins.

For example, I’m using Ultimate Member to send an email to each new user that was added by admins. In that email is a link to reset their password so they can login for the first time. What the user gets is an error prompt on the page, saying the reset link is invalid and asking the user to send another reset request. That 2nd reset email is, of course, not sent.

I know this is related to “forgot password” resets, and evidently UM is using the built-in WP handler.

There is a warning given in the “password change” option description about “forgotten password”, but this really should be fixed nonetheless.
The plugin is not ready for prime time as it is, so for now we will have to roll our own in functions.php.
