Multisite: lostpasswordform always posts to the main-site wp-login.php file

[henry.wright]

The lost password form always posts to the main-site wp-login.php file. If the lost password form on a sub-site is being used then I'd expect the form to post to the sub-site wp-login.php file.

Current

<form name="lostpasswordform" id="lostpasswordform" action="<?php echo esc_url( network_site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=lostpassword', 'login_post' ) ); ?>" method="post">

Suggestion

<form name="lostpasswordform" id="lostpasswordform" action="<?php echo esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=lostpassword', 'login_post' ) ); ?>" method="post">

This is an issue when the sub-site uses a different language to the main-site.

Hi @henrywright, this ticket appears to be a duplicate of #21352. Add your thoughts and suggestion to that ticket to help further the discussion on this topic.

Hi @costdev. Although related, it isn't a duplicate. This ticket refers to the location of the form submission and the #21352 ticket refers to the function to generating the lost password URL.

Happy to close this ticket though if you prefer to broaden the scope of the #21352 ticket

@henrywright Thanks for clarifying that and correcting me!

Let's see what others think about that. I've updated my comment on that ticket to note that this one is a related ticket, not a duplicate.

Attached is 54297.diff. This patch posts to the sub-site wp-login.php file instead of the main-site wp-login.php file.
