Wordpress 2.51 Lost Password, Link In Email Not Valid Key issue fixed
Writing by admin on Saturday, 7 of June , 2008 at 9:55 am
Now there is an issue with 2.5.1 where if a member looses their password and click the ‘Forgotten Password’ link, the link in the email states “Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid.”
Download the ZIP file with those two changed files here:
Please Login or Register to see the link.
Unzip it using WinZIP or something, then upload those two changed files to your site.
Now try the forgotten password thing. It should work and not have those weird characters in it. Note that they will have to generate a new email and such through the forgotten password link, this won’t make those old emails magically work.
Edit: Actually, looking closer at the code, I see that it won’t regenerate the key if one is already there. You’ll need to clear the user_activation_key data or force it to regenerate those.
