i followed these instruction: https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1693-set-password-on-um-email-templates

WordPress 6.4.2 Ultimate Member 2.8.0 Ultimate Member - Set Password 1.0.2

expected behavior: user clicks on link in activation/ set pw mail and gets to a form where the user can set password

experienced behavior: user clicks on link in activation/ set pw mail and gets to a password reset form with the error message: “The link to reset the password seems to be invalid. Please request a new link below.”

Hey @champsupertramp, when do you think this will be fixed? also do you need any further info? kind regards, michael

This is a long time with no fix -- I just tried to install the plugin today and the set password link does not work.

I don't get an error though -- the placeholder is not creating. The link renders like this:

Has anyone found a solution to this? I can't get the set password to work through a welcome email or activation email. Or has anyone found some alternatives to this at least?

unfortunately this hat not gotten fixed and we moved on to just use the build in "set password" functionality of wordpress.

Hey Michael,

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any guidance on styling the "set password" functionality of Wordpress. Anything I should look for when doing my google searches? I'm pretty new to web dev and I am trying to find a solution to making it align with the branding of the website.

i think there is a function.php snippet that allows you to inject css into the login screen.
