Can pro login widget signup now link to behave like the wp-login register link?

The following code will redirect everyone away from the regular WP login page:

function possibly_redirect(){
  global $pagenow;
  if( 'wp-login.php' == $pagenow ) {
    if ( isset( $_POST['wp-submit'] ) ||   // in case of LOGIN
      ( isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action']=='logout') ||   // in case of LOGOUT
      ( isset($_GET['checkemail']) && $_GET['checkemail']=='confirm') ||   // in case of LOST PASSWORD
      ( isset($_GET['checkemail']) && $_GET['checkemail']=='registered') ) return;    // in case of REGISTER
    else wp_redirect(home_url('/login'));
    exit();
  }
}
add_action('init','possibly_redirect');

Change /login to whatever URL suits your site. You can put this in your (child) theme’s functions.php file, or else add <?php right at the beginning (with no spaces before it) and put it in your mu-plugins folder.

Thanks KTS. I should clarify, I had considered doing essentially a ‘rename’ of the wp-login but I was hoping there was a more elegant way that would let us keep wp-login in tact and just customize the login on a distinct and separate page with registration behavior. Is this possible?

Yes, though I don’t know why anyone would want to keep the original WP login page! I absolutely hate it.

The simplest way to be able to login from another page is to use the Clean Login plugin.

Agreed about the aesthetics of the login, but alas sometimes we get over-ruled by those with a higher pay grade.

So I took a look at Clean Login. Interesting, but it will not allow or respect the custom registration fields setup in s2member. For example we require “company name” as a part of our registration. I did a search on the forums and found where the plugin developer states custom fields are not and will not be supported.

I can’t believe there is no way to do this in s2member? That wonderful plugin practically butters my bread, supports page level login through pro login but can’t support the registration part of the login???? Really?

The Pro version of s2Member provides the registration forms you are looking for. Then you can use Clean Login for the login page(s).

I am using the pro version (thus my access to pro login). The problem is not the login page, but the fact that when I try to use s2member to create a login page somewhere other than wp-login, through the php scripting of pro login, that the “new user” link in pro forms does not take me to the wp-login.php?action=register fields. In order to get to those I have to redirect users back to wp-login … which I am trying to avoid.

I tried clean login, it did not show the custom registration fields I have set up in our pro version of s2member and the developer states in the forums that custom fields are not and will not be supported. So, if you know a work around to pair clean login with the custom registration fields in s2member, please share. ??

…to illustrate, compare:

to

https://staging.convergecfd.com/wp-login.php?action=register

You can see the former lacks the custom fields present in the later….

I don’t use the login widget for this, and I don’t use any scripting.

What I do is generate a registration form shortcode in s2Member and put that where I want it.

Then I use Clean Login to put that plugin’s login shortcode where I want it. Then I put that plugin’s registration form shortcode on the page where I have the s2Member registration form.

Now comes the devious bit (though it’s actually how Clean Login was intentionally designed). After having saved these pages, I then delete Clean Login’s registration shortcode, and re-save the page. Although it’s no longer there, the page nevertheless remains saved in the database, so that the link on the Clean Login form will still link to the page where you have placed the s2Member registration form.

If this method isn’t any good to you, then I suggest you try Pro support.

Ohhhhhh…. sneaky. Yes, I’ll give this a try. Thanks!

Yep. That worked! Weirdly esoteric… Thanks for all the help!

You’re welcome!
