Registration links disappear after requesting a password reset link

[henry.wright]

After requesting a password reset link at example.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword, the registration links (that were under the Log In button) disappear. See the attached screenshot(s) for visuals.

@birgire is it worth also adding a "Lost your password?" link? Attached is a screenshot of the standard login page. Note there are 2 links

@henry.wright it looks like I missed your ping.

I updated the patch with 41514.2.patch​ to show "Lost your password?" link too.

Maybe you can test it?

I'm not sure I see an issue with that. Having just requested a password reset link, why would you need to go back to registration or password reset form?

[henry.wright]

@birgire 41514.2.patch looks good but see #40802 which allows the hard coded pipe character to be filtered with the new login_link_separator hook.

@SergeyBiryukov I agree the user is likely to not use the link but I think the link should be there to keep a consistent look and feel with the rest of the wp-login.php screens.

Refreshed the patch with respect to #40802

#40605 suggests removing the login form from the "Check your email for the confirmation link" screen altogether. Let's figure out the best way forward in early 5.0.

[SergeyBiryukov]

In 48304:

Login and Registration: Hide the login form on the "check your email" step of new user registration or password reset.

This aims to reduce some confusion and make it clearer that the email should be checked before attempting to log in right away.

Fixes #40605, #41514.

[SergeyBiryukov]

In 48305:

Login and Registration: Set a more appropriate page title for the "check your email" step of new user registration or password reset.

Follow-up to [48304].
