Change lost password url to a mailto URL in WordPress

can you help me, how can I change the lost password link to an email action with specified subject?
I found that in the functions.php I can add a new filter like this:

add_filter( 'lostpassword_url',  'my_lostpassword_url', 10, 0 );
function my_lostpassword_url() {
    return site_url('/password-reset/');
}

But I dont know how can I implement the mailto action instead of the new url. Can you help me?

Method 1

This answer assumes you’re running PHP 5.3 or above.

Use the filter code below in-place of your code that you quoted above. Then simply update the variables provided so that it’s sending to the correct email address and with the particular subject you’d like.

add_filter( 'lostpassword_url', function () {
    $email_to = '[email protected]';
    $email_subject =  'Help I lost my password';
    return sprintf( 'mailto:%s?subject=%s', $email_to, $email_subject );
}, 100, 0 );

Note: You cannot change the anchor text “Lost Password” that is used in the link.
