Hi Shane,
Thank you for having a look.
What I found out after your message is: the links don's show up when you are logged in.
In the tutorial I read:
Now that both pages are set up, all you need to do is add links to the “Lost password” page.
Usually, you want to provide this link to users on the “My Account” and “Login” pages.
The My account page is a member-page. So only visible when you are logged in.
So what is the logic?
You can only reset your password when your are NOT logged in?
Oke.
But why place the link to reset password on the My acount page then?
Hope you can follow my thoughts
Kind regards,
Corine
Yes the Reset password won't show if you are logged in. The reset password form is only for when you have forgotten the password and wanted it changed.
If you want logged in users to change their passwords you will need to use an Edit User form. This form will allow them to change their passwords as well as edit any of the other fields that are on their user account.
