There are a couple of ways to do this. The most simple is probably to install a plugin, such as Theme My Login. The more complicated but flexible way to do it is to use wp_login_form() to output the form, presumably to a shortcode or something, and then you can style it yourself.
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
This message is not part of the WordPress core. I confirmed this suspicion by searching for the message within the WordPress core files. When it was not found, I then searched the message using a search engine. It appears that you are using the New User Approve Message plugin. This message is defined in new-user-approve/includes/messages.php#L33 … Read more
Using wp_deregister_style( ‘login’ ) to remove the login styles will still result in a 404’d request for the login CSS file. However, if you re-register the login style after deregistering it you can prevent the unwanted request. add_action( ‘login_init’, function() { wp_deregister_style( ‘login’ ); wp_register_style( ‘login’ ); } ); This will leave you with a … Read more
Probably because the global $current_user isn’t valid yet, which is used by current_user_can(). However, you can use this instead; if ($user->has_cap(‘manage_options’)) { return admin_url(); }
Here’s how we do it: $user = get_user_by(’email’, $email); if (wp_check_password($password, $user->user_pass, $user->ID)) { // Login successfull, redirect if needed wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID); } Assuming of course that you got the $email and the $password variables from a POST request or something 🙂
To be honest? It’s a little bit hard to say… This behavior was introduced in 3.9.2 (which is security release). Here’s the bug in Trac: 29060: Don’t pass around the resetpass key, but there isn’t much info on why was it introduced in the bug report. Is it for security reasons? Most probably. But does … Read more
Here is a pretty simple approach to changing the logo. Mark Jaquith of WordPress released a plugin that allows you to upload an image which will be shown on the login page instead of the WP logo. Customize the WordPress Login Screen Logo
If you will work with sessions, then init this at first in your plugin, theme. add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_start_session’ ); function my_start_session() { if ( session_id() ) return; @session_cache_limiter(‘private, must-revalidate’); //private_no_expire @session_cache_expire(0); @session_start(); } Alternative use the library from Eric Mann: WP Session Manager, also his tutorial.
(side note) In wp-config you can set: define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, $table_prefix.’my_users’); define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, $table_prefix.’my_usermeta’); So I would expect this to work especially for the case when you have centralized your user database… but it does not: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13323 (and a username/password for the remote database to get the info from) I think this is the best way to go: … Read more
