Enqueue a stylesheet for login page and make it appear in head element

For every enqueue action, there is a corresponding print_styles action: wp_enqueue_scripts → wp_print_styles admin_enqueue_scripts → admin_print_styles customize_controls_enqueue_scripts → customize_controls_print_styles Not for the login page. There is no login_print_styles action or function, so your stylesheets are thrown out on do_action( ‘login_footer’ );.

Yes, and no! The way users work in a multisite scenario is that there is a single pool of users, who are then associated with blogs.

The code he posted in that tutorial (very nice BTW) post’s the form to the build-in “reset password” module which redirects to the login.php on error, but you can change that and build your own based on the original and add it to the template page, change: <form method=”post” action=”<?php echo site_url(‘wp-login.php?action=lostpassword’, ‘login_post’) ?>” class=”wp-user-form”> … Read more

Redirect loop when trying to login to /wp-admin/ [duplicate]
