My recommendation would be to use a plug-in like Lightbox Plus to power your link. Clicking the link would load your standard login form inside a lightbox. You could then automatically redirect to the same page so that, once logged in, users can leave a comment. Basically, you’d dynamically build your link to be something … Read more
The answer requires a little bit of WP forensics because this function has been in WordPress since 1.5 but has undergone some changes along the way. One thing that has not changed however is the description “Checks if a user is logged in, if not it redirects them to the login page.” I think that … Read more
WordPress uses those markers to put its rules between. I never have and never would put custom rules in there. Check out insert_with_markers() and save_mod_rewrite_rules() in wp-admin/includes/misc.php Most notably this comment block which answers your question: /** * Inserts an array of strings into a file (.htaccess ), placing it between * BEGIN and END … Read more
Here’s one milder suggestion to try out, assuming different cookie domains, if you’re using WordPress 5.5+ For your development installs, set the getenv environment variable WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE or define: define( ‘WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE’, ‘development’ ); within the corresponding wp-config-development.php or the name you use for it. Then extend the authentication cookie expiration period for the development installs with … Read more

So either use admin_url() or site_url() if you want to link internally. The action/ target of this form is not meant to be changed (unless you set echo to FALSE and use some … Read more
This is what ended up working for me: Put your script into a .js file and then: add_action( ‘login_enqueue_scripts’, ‘enqueue_my_script’ ); function enqueue_my_script( $page ) { wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-script’, ‘http://domain.com/path/myjs-file.js’, null, null, true ); }
Use this plugin for this purpose SI Captcha
There are a few things you can try. One of them you have already tried. Clear your browser cache (which you have stated you have tried), just make sure you cleared everything, cookies and cache. Try deactivating all plugins by either logging in via SSH or FTP to your server and rename wp-content/plugins to wp-content/plugins_backup. … Read more
Look at the opening form element. The value for action determines where the form data is being posted to. By changing the value you can simply tell the form to redirect to itself rather than another page. The codex offers an alternative approach on generating the mark-up for the necessary form: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form#Make_a_Custom_Login_Page Here’s a much … Read more
You could create a dummy user (with no rights) and log in every visitor using this dummy user. This could be done pretty easily: wp_set_auth_cookie($uid, true); wp_set_current_user($uid); But in my opinion that’s a rather flawy workaround. Your main problem is that all pages for not-logged-in users come from the page-cache. That also means that all … Read more
