Sadly, I can’t figure out how to edit my post so I guess I will go back in the queue. But I have more info and I think it’s useful enough that I should get back in line 🙂
This problem has something to do with the latest WooCommerce update, 2.6.2. When I revert to 2.6.1, the problem goes away. So I suspect it’s a theme conflict. The changelog for Woo 2.6.2 https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2016/06/30/woocommerce-2-6-2-fix-release-notes/ discusses a change to the password reset process and there must be something going on that is preventing it from working correctly on my site; specifically: “We’ve made the password reset process redirect to the form and set a cookie containing the reset token and username to prevent password tokens being leaked via the page’s referer headers.”
On my site, the reset token link IS being properly sent as per the PHP template, but then it disappears when I click the link — it redirects the user to the Lost Password page again (lost-password reset=true).
I reverted to 2.6.1 because my site is live and active with 2000 club members, but I’d love to be able to upgrade to 2.6.2 with your help. Thanks very much in advance, Katie
