Hello Scott, Thanks for your reply. I’ve installed oc in non www mode after, I decide it should be www (it looks good ) then I’ve made 301 redirect non www to www, thats it. its working in non www mode but in www mode its removed. There is no image adding option here 🙁 , you can see here sohozlife.com/admin regards Sohoz
Hello Sohoz, I don’t think that would affect the link not displaying. It should be there. If you have not added any content yet I would remove OpenCart and then reinstall it. Kindest Regards, Scott M
Hello Sohoz, The Forgotten Password link should display in the default theme, even in the 2.0.2.0 version. Have you added a different theme or any modules that would remove that? Kindest Regards, Scott M
