New user password creation process broken – loop with no exit

  • Client mistakenly upgraded to 4.3 prior to my sign-off, ugh, but there is an issue with the new user process.

    When creating a new user in 4.3, WordPress sends the user an email with a link to reset their password (or create their first one – I assumed). Instead the link takes me to the password reset page, which asks for my username.

    upon submitting it, I receive an email with a link to reset my password. That link takes me back to the page that asks for my username and send me a new link.

    This loop continues over and over.

  • You can send a password by generating one in the new user account and saving. You’ll have to send via email {which completely negates this whole extra security process}

    This new feature is broken though.

    So am I correct in understanding the new user process is broken for everyone?

    When you create a new user does it send an email to the user with their password?

    Yes, it is broken.

    After you create the new user. Go into the users profile, generate a password, copy the password and send via email. The notification process appears to be broken thus far.
