 * Hey.
 * Thanks for a great plugin.
 * When I set up a new user registration email using the [password_url] shortcode.
 * Everything works as it should however, when the email arrives the shortcode appears
   as just flat text (that is, not hyperlinked).
 * I cut and pasted it and it works as expected. However how can I ensure that your
   shortcode is rendered as a hyperlink in the email received by the new user.
 * The issue is not with my email platform, because when I tested standard WP new
   registration emails the link inside those has a hyperlink.
 * Kind Regards
 * Max

 * Hi [@khunmax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khunmax/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * You should be able to add the shortcode as a link by using the button in the 
   WYSIWYG editor as normal. Alternatively, you can use the ‘Text’ tab of the WYSIWYG
   editor to write it in manually like so:
 * `<a href="[password_url]">Reset Password Link</a>`
 * Hope this helps!
 * Thanks,
    Jack
