Password Link using wp-login even when customized url

Hello!

I use a security plugin to customize my login url to be something else and NOT wp-login.php.

When a user registers and receives a message to click on a link to set up their first password, they’re redirected to the homepage because the link generated by your notification sends them to /wp-login.php?action=rp&key=randomkey&login=userid instead of sending them to /mycustomizedloginaddress?action=rp&key=randomkey&login=userid

The shortcode [password_reset_link] works correctly and is aware of the login page modification implemented by my security plugin.

The shortcode [password_url] does NOT work correctly and has the error mentioned above.

Could you please update your plugin to fix that?

I am not able to use [password_reset_link] for new users because it just adds the text [password_reset_link].

Same happens with the [password_url_raw] shortcode (it looks the same).

Please let me know if you can fix it or if I can do anything to change my template to be fixed.

Hi @thesimarchitect,
Thanks for your message.

Let me investigate this to see if I can replicate it.
Can you tell me which security plugin you’re using so I can test with your exact scenario?

Hi @bnfwsupport ! Thanks a lot for reaching out! Your help is very appreciated!

This is the plugin that changes the login page, which I use (others do the same):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/

The issue seems to be somewhat new, started sometime in 2025 (well, that’s when I noticed it, not many users registering these days but most of them never made it to being able to log in, I think I sent them manual password recovery emails too late).

I wish it’s something easy for you to fix.

Have a lovely day!

Thanks for clarifying, @thesimarchitect.
I’ve logged an internal ticket us to investigate this and will let you know when I have more.

Hi @thesimarchitect,
Thanks for bearing with me.

We’ve done some testing but can’t replicate the issue – in all our tests, the new URL is the correct one from the All-in-One Securit (AIOS) plugin.

To rule out a possible plugin or theme conflict, please can you make your way through this document and let me know how you get on, keeping the AIOS plugin and BNFW as the only two active plugins?

Thanks! Problem persists. I turned your plugin off and the default message generated by WordPress has the same issue.

I can’t turn all plugins off. Sorry. I need to have s2Member on at all times and turning the security plugin off would surely make the links work because wp-login would work. But the idea is for it to NOT work for security / brute force reasons (I was actually facing that problem).

I tried creating filters using Gemini AI to code them but nothing worked. The emails went out with the default url.

I’ll keep you posted if the other plugin’s support helps. Ideas are always welcome, even if for a temporary solution that maintains wp-login.php not working, so a plain redirection via NGinx would not be it. 🙂

Hi @thesimarchitect,
You may wish to test this on a staging site in order to test all the variations.
My current thinking is that the s2Member plugin is overriding the default notification or login link and so BNFW can’t override it again.
I highly recommend testing without s2Member in order to rule this out as we haven’t been able to replicate the issue with just BNFW and the AIOS only installed.
