Joomla 3 and VM password reset redirect to VM register

I'm using Joomla 3.9.3 with VirtueMart 3.4.2. I have a login page using the standard Joomla login page. When a user clicks on forgot password or forgot username, they are taken to the appropriate page: /register?view=reset

enter image description here

When the email address is entered correctly and captcha solved and you click Submit it doesn't ever send the email to the user, and always redirects to VirtueMart register page: /shop/user

enter image description here

If I click on Forgot Password or Username there on that resulting page, it takes me back to the original url.

I don't have any SEF plugins installed on this site.

Solution 
  • Login to Joomla Admin Panel-->Menus-->create Hidden Menu--> Add New Menu Item-->User Edit Profile Layout -->Save (index.php?option=com_users&view=profile&layout=edit)

    The Problem is there is nothing edit profile page layout .Virtuemart component redirects custom register page , same Itemid taken to forgot username and password. Above solution will apply automatically problem solved.
