I doubt it will be that difficult… time more than anything else… and the release process of course consists of lots of testing…

btw, shoudl point out that wp will no longer send the password in plaintext via email…   So you could keep using, just tell people to ignore the password field…

after our changes, it will just be gone… replaced by a link to reset your password…

so an alternate fix for now would be to remove the

 %NEWLINE%Password: %PASSWORD%

element from our email…  since that is essentially what we will be doing in the fix…

I removed the %password% as suggested. Probably another of my dumb questions, But.. How can a new user get their password if WordPress no longer sends it? Color me confused today..

users get their password when they sign up… its shown to them…   same for resetting (or lost) password…

wp will no longer send plaintext passwords in emails.. a good thing, really…

I just did a new registration and was not prompted to enter a password, nor was one presented to me. All I see is a registration approved and the standard wordpress login screen.

So I assume you have to add that in? If so in the meantime how can a new user register? Do a password reset?

that will come down to wp…  we do not interact in that phase – only the email…  and wp changed the pluggable function replacing password passed to it with who to notify, admin, user, both or neither…  which is why you would have seen both before…

when we update a password retrieve url can be added to the email as well… dont think we can safely add it because folks may have customized the email settings…

the wp change password url has always existed at:

http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

that has not changed in wp 4.3…
