Another simple way to do this without needing to add another script is using PHP’s str_replace function. $args = array( ‘echo’ => false, ); $form = wp_login_form( $args ); //add the placeholders $form = str_replace(‘name=”log”‘, ‘name=”log” placeholder=”Username”‘, $form); $form = str_replace(‘name=”pwd”‘, ‘name=”pwd” placeholder=”Password”‘, $form); echo $form;
The Starkers theme setup is hooked to after_setup_theme, at a priority of 10. So you basically have to wrap the unregister function inside another function (child themes functions.php file) and add it later than the parent themes setup function, so it gets first added by the parent and later on removed by the child. function … Read more
What @petermolnar suggested also redirects your users to the main site if they want to register (I’ve tested this but feel free to make use of it. It’s good practice). What you need is a registration/login/edit-profile plugin for the front end: http://www.cozmoslabs.com/1341-wordpress-profile-builder-a-front-end-user-registration-login-and-edit-profile-plugin/ It’s shortcode based so all you have to do is redirect your users … Read more
Short answer – Your original function (mostly) works. This is your function edited to do what it needs to do: function automatically_log_me_in( $user_id ) { wp_set_current_user( $user_id ); wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id ); wp_redirect( home_url( ‘/some-ending-page/’ ) ); exit(); } add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘automatically_log_me_in’ ); Long answer – here is an explanation of why this is the answer. … Read more
I’ve tried a few different approaches for verifying the user’s email. For now, what I am doing is this: When a user first registers, set the user’s user_metadata ’email_not_verified’ to 1. add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘sc_user_email_not_verified’ ); function sc_user_email_not_verified( $user_id ) { update_user_meta( $user_id, ’email_not_verified’, 1 ); } Then, override the wp_new_user_notification function so that it adds … Read more
The codex defines the function as: register_setting( $option_group, $option_name, $option_validate_function ); $option_group is settings group name. Use when displaying on a settings page for example $option_name is the database entry name $option_validate_function is the callback for this database entry/this option. Most codex tutorials use an array of data in one $option_name but that’s not required … Read more
There are two very different hooks you can use, depending on the installation: wpmu_validate_user_signup for multi-site and registration_errors for single-site. The following untested code shows how to use them. You can tweak the array in user_name_is_forbidden() to your needs. Use regular expressions for the matches. // multi-site add_filter( ‘wpmu_validate_user_signup’, function( $result ) { // there … Read more
You’re looking in the wrong place. When a user first attempts to register, their username and email is processed and sanitized inside the register_new_user() function in wp-login.php. This is where you want to do your filtering. Before the user is created, WordPress will pass the sanitized user login, email address, and an array or errors … Read more
After much research, I finally turned to examining the WordPress core file wp_login.php hoping that WP would show how they do it in a non-obtuse manner. From the information around line 331 (WP 4.6.1), I put together the following code. <?php global $gw_activate_template; extract( $gw_activate_template->result ); $url = is_multisite() ? get_blogaddress_by_id( (int) $blog_id ) : … Read more
It’s possible, just no so easily via the Users page without some hackery. The WordPress API will let you insert users without email addresses, so a little custom plugin to accept a login name and password, and a call to wp_insert_user or wp_update_user should work for you. Unfortunately I don’t have time to code it … Read more
