$POST variable is empty in receiving php add-on function but can be seen by jscript function

I have now tracked this down to the polylang plugin. When the plugin is active and ‘&lang=en’ is added to the URL, the $_POST variables are lost. If I disable the plugin, all is well. Since I want translations, I may have to use a different plugin for that. Can anybody help?

Login_form add to top of form rather then bottom

Unfortunately there is no hook for above the fields (perhaps you might want to submit a patch/feature request on trac?)

Acessing WP functions in form submission handler

Accessing files within WP installation directly is a bad practice. While you can implement a custom core load routine, it is fragile and impossible to reliably ship in public plugins. There are different approaches to form submission in WP. On of the most appropriate ones (if slightly underknown) is sending form to wp-admin/admin-post.php and using … Read more
