Customer Login Form…

    I am trying to figure out how to create a form for a client login page that has username and password fields as well as submit and forgot password buttons. The person I’m doing this for already has this form on their old website with the code in the header to where each button goes, but that’s not in WordPress. And I’m not sure how to make it happen in Wordress or if it’s even possible.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Can you post a link to the existing form?

    Maybe this could help:

    Here’s the link to the existing form.

    https://www.integra-group.com/login.aspx

    And they want it to look very similar.

    As for the plugin, I may just have to go with that if I can’t figure out another way. Thanks for the link.

    Once you active the plugin, create a page and write some description (just like the existing form) then put plugin’s shortcode in it. You can change style by adding CSS to the form which I don’t think it’s necessary and if you persist in doing that, an expert must help you.

    Sounds like an idea. And I can definitely change the CSS, so that’s not an issue. Haven’t looked too closely at the plugin yet but hopefully I can use the existing header code to point the buttons to where they need to go. I actually looked all over for a plugin like this and never saw this one. Just plugins to help customize the wp user login page. I’ll let you know what happens. And any other suggestions about this are more than welcome. Thanks a ton so far!

    Well, for some reason I can’t get the Nice Login Widget to work. Maybe it’s not compatible with the new version of WordPress or maybe it’s just too hard to figure out.

    Anyone else have any other ideas? I’m getting desperate.

    Has anyone ever used the User Meta plugin?

    Or is this just a plugin to help you log into the WordPress dashboard?

    It looks like User Meta has what you are looking for. Did you try it?

    If that doesn’t work, there seem to be dozens of plugins to customize the login for the front of the site, so maybe one of them will work. Not all the ones listed here will do what you are wanting, but a lot of them will.

    Alternatively, you could put a support request in for Nice Login Widget to figure out why it isn’t working for you…

    Okay, so finally getting back to this. I figured out a way to take the code from the existing form and use it to build the actual form part of this in the Text area of the main content instead of the Visual area. Without using a plugin, which I like.

    Now I want to take the JavaScript that it needs from the original site’s source code and somehow put it in the head of my child theme. Is there a good way to go about doing this? Can I just make a new header.php file for the child theme and paste the code in between <head> </head> ? Basically like making a new style.css file in the child? Or is there a better way?

    Sorry, that’s beyond my skill level. Maybe someone else can answer that.

    Figured it out. I created another post and got some people help out. Here’s the link to that post:

    Thanks to everyone here for that help as well!
