Joomla 5.2.2
VM 4.4.2 11100

Today I switched the registration "from" Joomla "to" VM.
The site is 99% the store, and Joomla would need to (somehow) have some registered users in another user group.
The only way I saw that possible is to manually assign the second group. The site owner is not going to do that and I may not have time to do that for him for every person. You know they are going to want access to the site soon after registering...

So I switched and now have VM as the registration so it can handle assigning the 2 different groups correctly. I'll have to create another form for the second group and already have that worked out.

The problem?
When VM is doing the registration, the "VM Framework Loader during Plugin Updates and Registration Redirect" is adding ?Itemid=101 at the end of the password reset and the username reminder:
/component/users/reset?Itemid=101
/component/users/remind?Itemid=101

When Joomla handles the registration the Itemid is not added.

I've spent all day on this trying to run down the culprit, and after identifying the "where" for the problem, now I have no idea how to find the file that is adding the Itemid.

I've checked in the files for login (and there are several), but none of them have the Itemid as part of the URL.

This is a huge problem for me and I'm sure many sites.
The problem is, when the user clicks on either of the 2 links (remind / reset), they are immediately redirected to...the home page.

Many of us would say they would know to scroll down and use that form.
But how many "typical users" on the Net would know that?
So they get to the home page, at the top - since there is no way the page link knows how to scroll down for the user - and the user stares at the home page.

Let's say they aren't that ignorant and will simply scroll down.
Wait.
It's not logical, and it's really interrupting an otherwise smooth running site.
I expect, and users would expect that they are going to see the same page (where they landed to register or log in) with a different form. Great. So that means, no redirect....just stay on the same page and present the form requested.

The link to register is fine - it doesn't have the Itemid attached.

HOW...can I make this happen?
I know I want to remove the Itemid. But where is it found?
If I know the file I'll figure it out.

Every link I've found on the Framework Loader documentation ends with an error that the page is out of date and there is nothing.
