 So in wordpress multisite, the forgotten password experience is a little
 weird. Take for example the following example from a standard sub domain
 install.


 1. User goes to the admin terminal for their site test.example.com/wp-
 login.php
 2. Clicks on forgotten password link. They are then taken to
 www.example.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

 This is confusing, as the url has changed. The user may see this as a
 mistake or phishing attempt. This is then compounded if the site is using
 domain mapping. The user could be directed from www.mysite.com/wp-
 login.php www.anotheraite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

 The forgotten password should link to the current site url. i.e

 test.example.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
