Unfortunately, the 'WP login form' is just a front end for the inbuilt WP user permissions / login system.
Besides being ugly, and looking like 99% of the boring lifeless sites on the internet.
The slug WRONG (should not default to somesite.com/wp-admin) and it switches to white??
ALSO it logs me out of MY wordpress if I click 'log out' hence the whole reason I wanted to avoid using the inbuilt wordpress system. It's trying to create a user database(which could get hacked) and will certainly require them to register for a wordpress account which is an unnecessary step I don't want to introduce. Signing in should take 10 seconds max. I don't want or need a user database, it's overkill and as mentioned, vulnerable to getting hacked with SQL injection.
I think there is a way to do it with Advanced Custom Forms, but I'm only like 1/3 of the way thru the documentation, if that...
For now, I don't realistically expect to get any of this working in wordpress so that's a lost cause, but there is currently no reason my checkuser.PHP script shouldn't work using straight HTML and straight PHP on my (non-wordpress) mirror site.
If there is an error in the script I cannot find it, and I had someone look at it, they found no errors either. It's just a simple function that checks if a string is found in one of the rows in the SQL database. Not complicated. Should work.
- paging mg33... you there? any thoughts?cherub
- customize-login-page or customize wp login page <-google that.
you can do this by css or php or use a plugin that makes the changes for you.uan - I would make a user with no rights, or just the ones needed and set the password to your code.
https://wordpress.or…uan - you don't need to show the username, just attach it in the backend to the login process. that makes it even safer.uan
